In fact, I think the opposite is true. Some buyers will not even consider buying a house with solar panels on the roof.

Great point! Nationally there is a 4.1% increase in home value (
Homes With Solar Panels Sell for 4.1% More - Zillow Research
The 10 states where solar power can boost a home'''s value the most)
I always tell customers that you need to get a real estate professional who knows what they are doing to sell your home with solar.
Final thought - Just as you wouldn't renovate your kitchen for $40,000 and "give it away for free", why would you give away free electricity for decades when you sell the home? It just wouldn't make sense, would it?
Have a great day!
