Solar Power Increases Your Home's Value

A lot of adverts claim that installing solar power (a photovoltaic system) will increase the value of your home and even claim research in America and Europe indicates homes increase in value by more than the cost of the system. However you cannot guarantee that installing solar power will increase the value of your home and so this factor in isolation should not be a reason to install a photovoltaic system (PV).

The best chances of getting maximum value on your home from installing PV:

  • do not over capitalise your home
  • buy a quality system from a reputable supplier- if the inverter is noisy, the panels are showing signs of early wear, the system is not safely secured or the panels are on a south facing roof that is not going to help your home sell and may even put buyers off.
