Solar is a Long-Term Investment
Installing solar panels lowers your energy bills and locks in long-term savings. This future cost avoidance is a valuable asset that buyers notice.
Homes With Solar Sell Faster—and for More
On average, homes with solar sell for around 4.1% more on average.
A report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab found solar homes sold for $15,000 more than comparable non-solar homes.
Buyers are increasingly looking for energy-efficient, low-maintenance homes, and solar fits the bill.
No Maintenance = No Headaches
Solar panels require very little upkeep, which is attractive to buyers. A warranty-backed system (like those offered by CHNG Energy) is even better—it gives potential buyers peace of mind.
Eco-Conscious Buyers Pay Attention
Millennial and Gen Z buyers (a growing share of the market) place a high value on sustainability. A solar-powered home speaks directly to that mindset.
Tip: If you're planning to sell in the next few years, be sure your solar system is owned, not leased—it increases your home value more significantly.
