Study: Commercial-Scale Solar Farms Don't Hurt Property Values
Renewable power companies often face resistance to new solar farms due to fears of decreased property values. However, a recent study from Loyola University Chicago found that solar farms do not harm property values and may even boost them, particularly for smaller projects. These findings suggest that concerns about solar developments are largely unfounded.
