<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When talking about whether or not adding solar panels to your home is a good idea, there are two main points to think about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First, ask yourself, “Do you plan on living in your home for a short period, or are you planning to live there long-term?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>For people who are looking to live in their home long-term, solar is a great idea</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>If you’re only considering a short-term stay in that property, it really comes down to whether you can afford to put solar panels on the house and purchase it</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A leased solar panel tends to cause homebuyers some uncertainty; they don’t typically like to take on other people's leases. Mind you, we’ve sold a ton of homes with solar leases, some within a few months after the selling process, but <b>if you want to appeal to most homebuyers, a solar lease isn’t the way to go</b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>It’s much easier to sell a house where the solar panels are owned by the homeowner</b>. There are no additional payments, and it provides immediate savings in terms of utilities if you didn’t have to invest in the system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Now if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term and are considering purchasing solar panels, you need to think about your income. Do you have a relatively fixed income? How much money do you have in your savings?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>If you’re on a fixed income, have some money in your savings, and you can afford to make an investment in your house, solar panels will help you save on your electric bill</b> over time by bringing it down to almost nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>If you don’t have a ton of money in your savings but you do have a consistent income, a lease is a great idea</b>. During the hotter summer months out here in Santa Clarita where temperatures get into the 100s, solar panels will help you save big time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">For any questions you have about solar panels, the logistics of having them installed, and/or the savings they’ll provide you, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to have an in-depth discussion with you.</span></div>
