4. That's an unproven maybe. It ususally depends on what the comps say as to the value of a house

As it is now re-doing kitchens return 65% of value. Bathrooms are comparable.

It's still to be seen if a solar roof will actually return value at all, or even approach what a new kitchen or bath will.

I'd wait for concrete sales examples before plunking down a big chunk of money without evidence of getting some of it back.

It's not going to return 100% of what you paid for it. Nothing does, but if it's within the range of what a new kitchen does then it's worth considering.

Or not, maybe just keep the roof that's on the house and the money in your pocket.
