Often these days I am being asked just that, and have shared some interesting articles on the topic recently. It absolutely does. Basically, if you are planning to sell your home within the next 10 years and getting solar on a payment plan, I advise not to add these to your home. In essence your power bill is converted to a credit payment. When selling the home this must be paid off completely or the buyer must be approved for both the solar loan and home loan if not buying the home with cash. Most often due to buyers already maxing out their max purchase amounts with their lender, the solar must be paid off by the seller at closing. This can greatly cut into profits of the home. Solar does give an additional value on home value but not enough to make the improvement worth it.
