Myths About Solar Power: What’s True, What’s Not, and What Homeowners Should Know

Solar power is one of the most talked-about home upgrades—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. On this episode of All About Home Construction, we break down some of the most common myths surrounding residential and land-based solar systems and separate fact from fiction.

We discuss whether “free solar” really exists, the truth about leasing land for solar farms, and why not every roof or property is automatically perfect for solar. We also talk honestly about financing, electric bill credits, maintenance, durability, resale value, and whether solar truly makes sense for every homeowner.

If you’re considering solar—or just tired of the sales pitches and online hype—this episode will help you understand the real costs, benefits, limitations, and smart questions to ask before making a decision.

As always, our goal is to help you make informed, realistic choices about your home, your land, and your money.
