Sun Equity™ — Unlock the Hidden Value of Your Solar Investment
Your home is worth more than you think.
If you’ve installed solar panels — whether owned, financed, or third-party — you deserve to get credit for that value when it counts. Sun Equity helps make that possible.
Our third-party certification turns invisible solar upgrades into visible equity. We help you stand out, sell smarter, and secure the best return on your investment.

How the Sun Equity™ Certification Works
Get verified. Stand out. Sell for more.
Sun Equity™ is the first certification built to highlight and legitimize the value of your home’s energy upgrades — upgrades that buyers want, but most listings fail to showcase effectively.
Here’s how easy it is to get certified and unlock your home’s hidden equity:
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Upgrades
We start by learning about your home’s energy-efficient improvements.
Whether you’ve installed solar panels, a heat pump HVAC, upgraded your insulation, added a smart thermostat, or improved your windows — we make it easy to share what you’ve done.
👉 You’ll fill out a quick form with:
- Your address and listing status
- A checklist of common energy upgrades

Step 2: We Review and Verify
We confirm your upgrades and calculate your home’s Sun Equity™.
No site visit needed — we handle everything remotely using real utility data, market benchmarks, and your documentation.
💡 We also prep your solar for appraisal.
