Owning solar panels can increase property value, qualify you for a federal tax credit, and save more money over time compared to leasing or buying utility power. Leasing and PPAs lower bills but ownership delivers the best long-term return.
Owned solar systems increase home value and help properties sell faster, with no added property tax. Leased systems, however, may complicate sales since ownership and incentives remain with the third party.
The main incentive is the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which currently covers 30% of installation costs. Some states and utilities may also offer local rebates or financing programs.
Buying is usually better for long-term savings since you get tax credits, property value boosts, and full control of your system. Leasing can lower upfront costs and monthly bills but doesn’t provide ownership benefits.
Solar reduces reliance on fossil fuels, cutting carbon emissions. Excess power fed back into the grid increases the share of renewable energy available to others. Over 25 years, one solar home offsets as much carbon as planting 5,000 trees.
Net Metering lets solar owners send extra power to the grid in exchange for credits. These credits balance out electricity pulled from the grid at night or in winter, with an annual “true-up” to reconcile usage versus production.
Panels only generate electricity in daylight. At night, grid-tied systems draw power from the utility, while off-grid systems rely on batteries. Foggy days can sometimes boost output, while heavy rain reduces it.
Grid-tied solar shuts down during outages for worker safety. Unless paired with battery storage or a special inverter feature, panels cannot power your home during blackouts.
Panels are low-maintenance, usually just needing the occasional cleaning. Most systems come with 10–25 year equipment warranties and monitoring software. Rain often keeps them clean naturally.
