@wirestyle22 the panels and mounting would all come off when you need to re-roof.
The cost increase is often justified by the savings on the electric and sell-back.
The question I have, is it better for a person to outright buy a solar panel setup and get it installed, or to just lease a system and have them deal with maintenance etc.
How much is there in savings to be earned, and how long until you see a profit?
Last articles that I read on the subject look at ~5 years before you recoup the investment and begin actual savings.
Panels are rated at 25 years now. So are architectural shingles for roofing. So it should be pretty solid.
Is this based on an outright purchase or leasing?

@JaredBusch The Indian and Banana River certainly aren't rivers, although they are shaped like them and run north and south. They were misidentified as rivers in the late 1800s, but in the early 1900s they were renamed to the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon since they are technically lagoons.
Sykes Creek which runs through the middle of Merritt Island is also saltwater and it's too big to be technically a creek.

Congrats!
Out of curiosity are you considering Solar Panels? I was thinking about what I'd do with my house if I owned one. I would think Solar Paneling would significantly increase the cost of re-doing the roof but I'm not entirely sure how often that happens and by what degree it would increase it.
The idea of solar power is great, current implementation sucks big time. Forget panels. Even the most efficient ones only reach 35% in a lab. So the entire house could be one big solar panel and still not provide enough power for a typical house. If you want enough solar power for a typical household, sterling solar generators are where I want to be looking. 3-5kw units shouldn't be any larger than an old style satellite dish, which is enough power for a house.

Wow I didn't realize how close I used to live to you. I lived down in Vero Beach. I was up in Melbourne quite a bit.

Totally went Minecraft there... (in my head)

What kind of power could you generate from the LTD sterling generator?
Actual numbers of something Satellite panel sized?

The first one I heard about was 20kw off an 8' panel. Haven't seen jack commercially yet

We are seeing houses on the market sell within 1-4 days right now. If you're a buyer you have to be quick.

Good luck with the rest of the process

I just can say that buy a house in USA is cheaper than in Spain.
Good look.

Where are you looking in Spain? Everywhere I've seen in Spain was a fraction of US prices.

When I was in Madrid last year, prices were about 20% of that in Texas, one of the cheapest parts of America. 20%.... 80% lower. Spain is so cheap that we talk about buying homes there on a whim when we can't afford them in the US.

Yup, did a quick check on that site and the places I saw are easily half or less Texas. My home in Dallas, which is almost free by US standards, could be sold and I could buy five larger homes in Granada with the money!

Spain is still more than here in Romania. But you get a lot more in views, access to things, local resources, etc.

Look for the price of a house in Madrid, or near to Madrid, Alcobendas, Alcorcón...
Also remember the salary in Spain repect to USA.

I worked in Madrid a little and they were paying much less to rent than in Dallas as well. It was so cheap, we couldn't believe it.
Yes, the salaries are lower, I'm not saying that there isn't a struggle. But in raw prices, I can easily buy a house in Spain than a house in the US.
Also keep in mind, Madrid should be closest to NYC, not Dallas. When you compare services and such. And as such, Madrid is super cheap.
