There is nothing wrong with being a little ‘houseproud’ and caring about the exterior appearance of your house. If solar were once seen as ugly, things have changed with over 2 million of Australian houses equipped with solar! Households with solar get interests and prove that you care about the environment. There is nothing ugly about that!

If some people don’t have any problem with the look of the panels, it is not the case for everyone. And it understandable that none of you wants to end up with a solar installation affecting the market value of your property.

Example of an “ugly” solar power installation

But don’t worry, solar panels don’t have to be ugly. Our main recommendation is to make sure you choose a trustable and experienced solar company. The difference between a quality and a shoddy installation may be not only obvious but could also impact your solar production and safety. An installation done properly shouldn’t be unappealing. For example, the conduits will run under the panels instead of running on the roof, panels won’t stick out of the roof, the rail will be streamed…

For those who don’t like the look of the panels at all, it is possible to work around your requirements and ensure that your installation can’t be seen from the street. Of course, it will depend on your roof orientation and layout but there is no doubt an experienced company will figure out how to make your installation appealing.

Another option, more expensive, is the solar tiles. Read our article Solar tiles: are they worth installing?
