One of the common questions that many people have when considering adding solar panels to their property is; “What do I need to do to prepare my home?”

You’ve put your home, with its solar array, on the market. Potential buyers may understand the benefits and responsibilities of solar—or they may not. While many environmentally-aware house shoppers see solar for what it is, a many-sided benefit, others may be concerned about its effect on the home’s value, the responsibilities of upkeep, and whether sun power will really save them money. Being set up with a few convincing facts can make the difference between a “thanks-but-no-thanks” and an offer.

Selling your home is a major life decision, one that requires plenty of research, planning, and knowledgeable assessment. The infographic below is designed to assist all who plan on selling their home with solar panels, and those genuinely curious, grasp a better understanding about the process by providing actionable steps. 

If you’re putting your solar-panel-equipped house on the market, your likely buyer will either:

1. know that having solar power is a big advantage, or
2. have some questions and concerns about it—maybe even a little bit of both.

If you have a solar home to sell, you’re in luck! Those photovoltaic panels can be a strong selling point. Solar not only saves homebuyers money on utility bills, it can add substantially to a home’s resale value. It’s also easy to maintain and monitor, and it contributes to building a better energy future. But you need to know a few important things about the home and its system before you put it on the market.

The short answer is: yes.

If you’ve got home solar, you already understand its advantages for you and your home. But what about when it comes time to sell your home?

The desire for clean, affordable solar power hasn’t waned — even in the face of the COVID crisis

MINNEAPOLIS--All Energy Solar, has gone back to work installing and maintaining solar systems for residential and commercial properties in multiple states — including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Iowa and New York.

By 2022, the federal investment tax credit (ITC) for installing a home solar system, a real help in paying for residential solar, is coming to an end.

Along with public-sector initiatives like tax credits, some energy utilities offer or participate in programs that help solar customers offset the costs of installation.
