Many solar system proponents will claim that a solar system will increase the value of your house. But, if you install a solar system on a new house in The Villages, you will need a new roof in just 15 years or possibly lose your homeowners insurance. At that point, you will need to pay a solar company thousands of dollars to remove and re-install the 15 year old panels, just to replace the roof. So, even if the house had more value when new (which I doubt), at the 15 year point, I think the solar system will be essentially worthless.
