Midwest study finds solar farms don’t hurt property values — and they may even boost them One of the most common misconceptions about large-scale solar farms is that they negatively impact property values. However, a recent study from Loyola University debunked this myth, showing that solar farms don’t harm property values and may even boost them. The study, which reviewed property values near 70 utility-scale solar farms across the Midwest, revealed a slight increase in values—ranging from 0.5% to 2%—around these projects. The research involved analyzing factors that influence property values, such as the size of solar farms, proximity to residential areas, and regional economic conditions. The findings highlighted that large-scale solar farms can contribute positively to local economies through job creation, tax revenues, and donations to schools. This creates an environment where landowners benefit from stable or increased property values, while companies investing in solar farms can tap into the growing demand for clean energy. In addition to these financial advantages, the environmental benefits of large-scale solar are significant. Solar farms reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, and provide a sustainable way to use agricultural land while preserving its long-term value. These factors make utility-scale solar projects a win-win for both landowners and companies committed to sustainability.
