One of the considerations people have when making an investment in solar is whether or not solar panels increase the value of your home. Many worry that it could hurt the resale value of a home, even if it saves money on electricity bills. It's a little different than painting a bathroom or even installing a new sink; it's changing how energy is used. It's a home improvement project and one that you cannot DIY.

Thankfully, there's good news: In addition to saving money on your monthly electric bill, adding solar to your house can increase its value. According to a 2019 Zillow study, homes with solar sell for an average of 4.1% more than homes without solar.¹¹ For example, on a $500,000 home that could mean an additional $20,500 of value from solar alone, increasing the value of your home. In fact, more than 80% of homebuyers say energy-efficiency features (such as solar) are important to them. And when you take into account the possibility of added home value, plus any applicable incentives,⁸ the solar investment can quickly pay for itself.

Another question people have about solar, tied to the value of their house, is about aesthetics. They want the benefits, but how will it look?
