Homes with Solar Panels for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits right in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, and its mix of mature neighborhoods near Murray Park, redeveloped pockets around Fireclay and Birkhill, and quieter streets east of State Street gives solar buyers a real range of housing to look at. The city averages well over 200 sunny days a year, and summer sun angles along the Wasatch Front make rooftop arrays productive from roughly March through October. What makes Murray different from neighboring cities is its municipal utility — Murray Power — which sets its own residential rates and net metering rules separate from Rocky Mountain Power. That changes the math on payback periods, so it's worth pulling the seller's last 12 months of bills before writing an offer.
Solar listings here tend to fall into two camps: owned systems on remodeled ramblers and split-entries from the 1960s–80s, and newer builds where solar was rolled into the original construction loan. Leased systems do come up, and those require the buyer to qualify with the solar company at closing — a step that catches some buyers off guard. Pair a south- or west-facing roof with Murray's relatively mild winters (snow load isn't the issue it is in Park City or Heber), and the panels pencil out for most owner-occupants planning to stay five-plus years. Browse the active listings below to see which Murray homes currently have solar in place, and reach out if you want help reading the system paperwork before a showing.

Common questions
About homes with solar panels in Murray.
Are solar panels common on Murray homes? ▾
Adoption has climbed steadily since Rocky Mountain Power's net metering program shifted, and you'll see solar on a mix of mid-century ramblers near Murray Park and newer builds in the Fireclay and Birkhill areas. It's still a minority of the housing stock, so active solar listings turn over quickly. Expect to see anywhere from a handful to a couple dozen homes with panels on the MLS at any given time.
Are the panels usually owned or leased? ▾
Both show up in Murray. Owned systems (paid off or financed) transfer with the home and add real resale value, while leased systems through companies like Sunrun or Vivint require the buyer to qualify and assume the lease. Always ask the listing agent for the solar paperwork early — lender underwriting can stall if the lease terms aren't clear.
How much can solar actually save on a Murray power bill? ▾
Murray Power is the city's municipal utility (not Rocky Mountain Power), and its residential rates and net metering terms differ from the surrounding valley. Savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and your usage, but most owners report meaningful offsets on summer AC bills. Ask the seller for 12 months of actual utility statements to see real numbers.
Does solar add to the home's appraised value? ▾
Owned systems typically appraise as a value-add in Salt Lake County, especially when paired with newer roofs and efficient HVAC. Leased panels generally don't add appraised value because they're not the homeowner's asset. A solar-specific appraisal addendum is worth requesting if the system is large or recently installed.
What should I check during inspection on a solar home? ▾
Have the inspector look at roof penetrations and flashing under the array, panel age and manufacturer warranty, the inverter condition, and the main panel's capacity. Request the original install permit and the interconnection agreement with Murray Power. If the roof is older than the panels, factor in future removal/reinstall costs when reroofing.
Can I add solar later if I buy a home without it? ▾
Yes — Murray's south-facing rooflines and roughly 220+ sunny days a year make it a workable solar market. Permitting goes through the city and interconnection through Murray Power. Get quotes from two or three local installers and confirm any HOA architectural rules if you're in a newer subdivision like Cherry Park or near Wheeler Farm.
