Does solar affect property values?

Research has shown that properties in close proximity to solar projects experience little to no impact on property value. In fact, studies show that in some cases solar has a positive effect on property value. According to the Solar Energies Industries Association (SEIA), proximity to solar farms does not impact the sale of residential or agricultural properties. These studies have been conducted throughout the U.S., including in agricultural regions in the midwest. You can read more here.

Additionally, solar projects require very little of public services such as schools and roads, meaning that the tax contribution of the Border Basin Solar Project can be expected to provide a net economic benefit to the county.
