Does Solar Increase Home Value? New 2025 Market Data

Zillow and Redfin data suggests homes with solar sell for 4.1% more on average. Here is the breakdown by state.

Multiple studies have shown that homes with solar panels sell for more than homes without them. However, the premium varies by location and system ownership status.

Owned vs. Leased Systems

This is the most critical factor. Owned systems increase home value. Leased systems typically do not.

When you own the system, it is an asset attached to the house that generates free electricity. A lease is a liability that the new buyer must agree to take over.
