Speaking from experience since I looked into it, there’s scammers peddling solar panels and overall, from a financial point of view, they are just a bad deal - Too much cost, with little upside with extra risk. In addition it certainly does not increase home values at all.

However, in southern California and deserts, it would make sense to get solar since the sun shines more.

Also wind turbine industry needs to start making recyclable blades cuz used blades take up a lot of space in landfills.
