While specific studies on Virginia's real estate market are scarce, national data and local observations indicate solar-equipped homes are generally more appealing to buyers. National research illustrates a significant increase in home values with solar installations. For instance, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found an average increase of $15,000 in home value with solar systems. Meanwhile, Zillow reports solar homes sell for 4.1% more, and Rocket Homes shows a higher likelihood of selling over the asking price, quicker than their non-solar counterparts.

For those in Virginia, where energy costs continue to rise, the appeal of owning a solar home is evident. Buyers increasingly view solar as a method to manage future utility costs effectively. Local real estate trends echo these findings, noting that Virginia's solar policies and tax credits only enhance a home's marketability.
