What’s your views on getting Solar Panels?
I was recently looking into getting solar panels on my home and after doing some more research I am now on the fence. I dont have a very high monthly electricity bill. It’s about $100avg. 2400sqft home.
One of the main reasons I was interested in Solar was because of the added equity to my home. You get about 3-5% gained value from adding solar. However after running the cost it would be a 25yr loan of $33,000 at 5.99% and the monthly payment would be $150.
So Solar is actually costing me more monthly than if I stayed with electric.
Now with the rising cost in electricity over the coming years, I wonder if this is a good investment for myself and my home.
I’m 50/50 right now and wondering what some other people’s thoughts are on the whole solar panel fad that’s hitting the country.
