It’s not cheap to have solar panels installed on your roof. It could run anywhere from $10K to $20K. So it’s a big investment. How long will it take you to recoup the cost of installing. Well, it’ll probably take you a decade. So here comes the problem, if you sell the house before then, you don’t recoup the cost. But of course it’ll add value to your house and equity.
However, if the housing market keeps stagnant, you might have a hard time getting the money back. That’s the financial part. Environmentally, it’ll help greatly if many household make the investment.
