🏡 How Solar Can Increase Your Home Value in Texas
Thinking about adding solar to your home? Besides saving money on your energy bills, going solar can also boost your home’s resale value—sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars.
Here’s how solar panels can increase your property’s worth and make your home more attractive to future buyers in Texas.
💰 1. Homes with Solar Sell for More
According to multiple studies (including Zillow), homes with solar panels sell for 4% more on average than homes without them. That’s an extra $12,000 on a $300,000 home—just for having solar installed.
Why? Buyers are willing to pay more for:
- Lower monthly utility bills
- Energy independence
- A move-in-ready green feature
🕒 2. Faster Resale Time
Solar homes typically sell faster than traditional homes. A solar system appeals to buyers looking for long-term savings and environmental benefits.
In hot real estate markets like DFW, Frisco, Anna, McKinney, and Plano, homes with energy-efficient upgrades stand out in a competitive field.
💼 3. Appraisers Now Consider Solar Systems
Thanks to updated appraisal guidelines, solar systems can now be factored into your home’s value. Appraisers may consider:
- The cost of your system
- Energy savings
- Remaining warranty/lifespan
- Ownership status (owned vs. leased)
✅ Pro Tip: You’ll maximize value if you own your solar system instead of leasing or using a PPA.
🔋 4. Energy Efficiency is a Selling Point
Today’s buyers are savvy. Many look for:
- Lower carbon footprints
- Smart home upgrades
- Sustainable energy sources
Solar is the perfect upgrade—it’s visible, measurable, and valuable.
📍 5. Texas Is One of the Best States for Solar ROI
With high utility rates, strong sun exposure, and a 30% federal tax credit, Texas homeowners often see a full ROI in just 6–9 years. That means more home equity and a better long-term financial position.
📝 Final Thought
If you’re planning to sell in the future—or just want to boost your home’s value while saving money now—solar is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
