Q: What’s your opinion on solar panels installed on private residences? Do they add any real value? If so, how much and what is the appraisal based on without knowing my electric usage and savings?

If an appraiser drives by a home or looks at an out-of-date satellite photo to compare comps, that won’t tell the whole story. My home in Las Vegas, with no homeowner association dues, is ideal for solar, but I have doubts about the resale value with either a leased or a purchased system. Thank you.
