Install solar on your investment property

The new research published by The Australian Institute states that Rental properties are less likely to have solar PV installations than owner-occupied properties, resulting in higher electricity bills and greenhouse gas emissions. Government programs that coordinate and change the incentives faced by landlords, renters, property managers and solar installers can help address this imbalance. The research is basically based on South Australia State. Installing a solar rooftop is an investment, however, we are always concerned while making an investment if it would be fruitful in the long run. 

Does solar actually increase the property value?

Well, according to the research, the owners tend to install solar panels on the property they reside at but they would not like to make a solar investment on the rented property. However, the individuals are ready to pay more rent for a property with solar as that shall reduce their electricity bills. The extra rent that the owners receive can help them receive a return on investment made by investing in the solar system. 

Solar is usually believed to increase the property value. However, that has been exaggerated for a long time now. Of course! The buyers tend to pay more for a property with solar on the roof but the property deal depends on various other factors like the location of the property.

The short answer to the question is yes the solar does increase the property value and investing in solar is worth it for your property in the long term if the products are of good quality.
