Solar Panels – A Cautionary Tale from the Central Texas Market

by Albert Chen

As a seasoned Central Texas realtor who's helped sell nearly 10 homes with solar panels, here’s the honest truth 👇
📉 I’ve yet to see solar panels add actual value to the resale of a home in our area.
🌪️ Between wind, hail, and insurance claims, solar can complicate roof replacements—you'll need a licensed contractor to safely remove and reinstall panels to preserve the warranty. That means more time ⏳, more cost 💸, and more stress 😬.
💡 While solar might reduce your electric bill, it may not be financially wise unless you plan to stay in the home for decades.
💬 Why? Because many buyers don’t want the added burden of taking on a solar loan or a lease they didn’t sign up for.
 
🏡 Thinking of going solar? Let’s talk strategy before you commit. Make decisions with resale in mind!
