Once homeowners get past the sticker price of solar, the smart ones start asking the money questions that really matter over time. Will solar raise my property taxes? Will it actually add to what my home is worth? And the one I hear most from business owners: can I write off the depreciation, especially if I run an S-Corp?

A four-bedroom house is a different animal than a smaller home when it comes to solar. More space usually means more people, more appliances, and a bigger power bill, which means you need a bigger system to make a real dent. So the honest cost is higher, but here’s the part most people don’t expect: the return can actually be stronger.
