Solar & Home Value UK 2026
Independently written
Do solar panels increase home value?
Solar panels increase UK home value by £1,800-£4,000 (Energy Saving Trust). Additionally: EPC improvement from D to B can add 5-10% to sale price (Rightmove). Lower running costs attract energy-conscious buyers. Key conditions: panels must be OWNED (not leased), well-maintained, with complete documentation (MCS certificate, warranties). Leased panels may DETER buyers (inherited 20-25yr contract). Always buy outright for maximum resale benefit.
