No matter the size of your home, paying less on your energy bill is always a good thing. And one of the best ways to achieve that is via the installation of solar panels.
If you're interested in upgrading to solar, you can explore EnergySage's assortment of free and easy-to-use tools to get quick solar installation estimates and even compare quotes.
Some homebuyers, however, might not be aware of the effectiveness of home solar power. According to one Redditor, this became an issue when they were thinking about selling their home, which was equipped with solar panels. They took to an Indiana community subreddit in search of advice.
The person explained that after fighting their homeowners association for months over their solar installation, they had enjoyed a massive decrease in their monthly energy bills. But they wanted to sell their home, and a real estate agent advised them that solar panels were a red flag for buyers.
"I just don't understand why people would be more concerned about how their house looks than getting free electricity and having a backup that would help protect a basement from flooding and keep power on during an outage," they wrote.
In the comments, users shared their thoughts on the situation.
"Solar panels or a built-in EV charger, either are huge upgrades to a home. Don't let that realtor lie to you," one explained.
"Assuming all the solar stuff is paid off and there's no awkward leases to transfer, I would leave it be and sell as is," another suggested.
