I agree. All of the propaganda on the Internet, the Government, and solar contractors, claim that having a solar system will increase the value of your house. I cannot believe that is true in The Villages. I have never seen a single post on this website by a licensed real estate agent who has commented on how a solar system affects the house market value. Also, I have never seen a house listed for sale where a solar system was featured as a valuable upgrade. I think the fact that a roof only lasts 15 years before you risk losing your homeowners policy severely limits the value of a solar system because of the cost to remove and replace the panels when installing a new roof.
