Should a potential real estate seller, even if they are going to sell 5+ years from now, install solar panels on their home? What "non public" issues are current arising in the current market? We have seen that, in some cases, the appraisers don't come close to the expense of the installation of the solar panels when they had been paid for by cash. Financing solar is, most times, as a future real estate seller, the better way to go. Ask your local realtor how your current market is dealing with solar and how the current real estate sellers are fairing with selling homes with solar installed, paid for, leased or financed. If you don't have a local Realtor and are in the Los Angeles CA area - hit us up. We are REMAX of Valencia CA's Paris911 Team.
