A new Berkley Lab study examined the impact of property value and proximity and large-scale PV solar projects in 6 major markets in America. Results were mixed: in 6 states homes within 0.5 miles compared to homes 2 to 4 miles away went down in value by 1.5%. In 3 of those states, it went down as follows: Minnesota (4% reduction), North Carolina (5.8%), and New Jersey (5.6%).
