    I dont know. Im up money monthly and my realtor said it adds more than it costs.

      The only way solar adds value is one of three ways:

      1. it’s paid off
      2. it’s paid off 3 ) if monthly payment is less then electric bill

      I’m in a real estate family and I’ve seen solar ruin deals, lose sellers lots of money.

      How does solar ruin deals. Buyer can’t afford monthly payment. How does it lose sellers lots of money, they can’t find a buyer so they will be forced to pay it off.

        I dont even understand where you are coming from. My bills are basically gone, my initial cost was low and it is most definitely a selling point.

        I cant imagine a deal being broken by solar unless the person buying is an idiot ignorant of science and finance or should otherwise not be buying a house anyway.

        Sounds like a local problem in a developing country.

        In Belgium it adds tons of value that people are happy to pay since they will pay less on their electricity bill. And because a lot have EVs, it will lower their driving bill as well.
