How Well Maintained Solar Panels Increase Commercial Property Value

Written by Transform Energy | Aug 29, 2023 1:30:00 PM

In California, the average time to sell a home in 2022 was about 72 days. Some of the factors that can affect your selling time and your home's value include the local market conditions and the condition of your property. 

It may be time to invest in solar panels if you want to increase your commercial property value. Green energy is one of the biggest trends and for good reason. It helps the environment, saves money on electricity bills, and looks good. 

Here's how commercial solar power can help raise your property value. 

Reduces Utility Bills

One of the first benefits of solar energy is that it can reduce overhead costs. Electricity is essential for anyone living in the modern world, but it can get expensive. Utilizing solar panels can help cover that cost by generating energy passively throughout the day. 

Although these panels require a hefty initial investment, they'll pay themselves off over time due to the energy savings. You can also find federal tax breaks that can help refund some of the money you've spent. 

Easy Selling Point

Another way investing in solar power can improve your commercial property value is the same way any other renovations help. All the work has already been done for the next owner.

They won't have to worry about paying to install solar power. It also makes the property look more appealing from the street.

Anyone who cares about the environment or green energy will prefer your property over others without solar panels. 

Low Maintenance 

Even though solar power uses additional systems and equipment, it's all relatively low maintenance

Solar panels are robust and can handle a lot of wear and tear. As long as you don't live in an area with a lot of volatile weather, they should continue to work just fine. In fact, some panels only require professional maintenance once every couple of years. 

You'll need to rinse off your panels if you live in a dry climate. Everything else you can leave to your solar company.

Solar Panels Can Bring in Extra Money 

Property owners can arrange with their energy company to redivert any excess power generated by their panels back into the grid. As a result, you can end up making money from your solar panels. 

The energy company pays the difference when that overflow goes back into the grid. You can install more solar panels to maximize your energy output.
