If you’re listing or buying a home with solar panels, Pearl Certification’s Solar Certification for Agents makes it easy to showcase the value that solar systems, home energy storage, and electric vehicle charging add. This $99 certification provides all the essential information you need to highlight these high-impact features, including technical specifications, an equity estimate, and marketing materials.

Why Certify Solar with Pearl?

Accurate, accessible solar information is critical in real estate transactions, especially as more homes come equipped with these features. Pearl’s Solar Certification ensures that all relevant documentation on a home’s solar system is collected, verified, and presented in a clear, comprehensive report. For agents, this certification is a reliable tool for highlighting the financial and performance benefits of solar, giving both buyers and sellers confidence.

The Power of Pearl’s New Solar Scoring System

Pearl’s updated Solar Scoring feature, now part of Pearl’s Home Energy Scoring, brings solar panel arrays and other renewable-energy features like electric vehicle (EV) stations and energy storage into focus. Now, with a dedicated scoring category, homes with these solar-based features receive recognition for their added sustainability, savings, and home value benefits — which can set a property apart in the market. The expanded score offers a transparent view of these features, making it easier for agents to communicate the value of energy-efficient homes to potential buyers.

How the Solar Certification and Score Benefit Agents

For listing agents, Pearl’s Solar Certification makes it easier to include crucial solar details in the MLS, ensuring that prospective buyers understand the true value the solar system adds. The comprehensive report consolidates all necessary documents, saving agents time and effort while providing peace of mind that no important details are overlooked. Plus, the marketing package included with the certification ensures that the solar system is effectively showcased, helping to differentiate the home and ensure the information is represented appropriately at the time of appraisal.

For buyer’s agents, the Solar Certification provides a layer of confidence that the solar system is performing as expected, making it a trustworthy resource when advising clients. Agents can help their clients make an informed purchase decision, ensuring the solar system’s value is accurately reflected in the home’s price and can verify that their clients aren’t taking on a faulty or underperforming system, adding an extra layer of protection to the transaction.

Seamless Process with Pearl’s Checklists

To make certification even simpler, Pearl provides Buying with Solar and Selling with Solar checklists.
Agents can use these guides with clients to collect essential documents early, ensuring that certification is smooth and all necessary details are in place.
