So you want to put solar panels on your roof, but you’re not sure if you’ll live in your house forever. Do you need to be worried about what happens when you sell?

In all likelihood, no. For most people, rooftop solar increases the value of their home, making it even more desirable when it eventually hits the market. And despite common fears about the process, selling a home with solar panels is usually pretty easy — as long as your realtor is up to speed on how it works.

In an era when incentives are high and the cost of solar is low, experts say you shouldn’t let the prospect of resale stop you from investing in the technology. In fact, with the right strategy, adding solar to your roof can be an unalloyed benefit when it comes time to sell your home.
