Local Baton Rouge Home Appraiser, Bill Cobb, has begun a study of home resales where solar panels were own and installed at the time of sale.   Do BATON ROUGE Home buyers pay extra for homes with solar panels installed at the time of sale?  And, does the presence of these panels help a home sell faster?  I'm not discussing solar panel value in the Midwest or in California but rather local to Greater Baton Rouge where these panels aren't as common and lag in acceptance. There’s been 9 local resales within GBRMLS and I just emailed the listing and selling agents my questions about these sales, if the panels added any extra value and/or helped their listings sell faster. I’ll let you know their feedback at a recent future date.    The Appraisal Institute completed a study of 22,000 home sa... 05/14/2015
