One TikTok post is impressing viewers as a smart financial strategy.
In the video, YanaPak (@yanapakyana) shares how buying a house with prepaid solar panels helped her rack up energy credits before she even moved in. "We were looking for … an investment, and what really pushed my husband over the edge … is the fact that this house has paid-off solar panels," she says.

She provides a monthly breakdown: February's power bill was less than $3, while March and April racked up credits from the power company. In May, when they moved in fully with everything up and running, their bill showed a credit of $1.24. With solar clearly offering big savings, it seems this investment is already paying off.
Installing solar panels is one of the best ways to cut your home energy costs and reduce your contribution to planet-warming pollution. If you're interested in saving month after month, EnergySage offers a free way to explore home solar. Its online tools let you compare installation quotes and get an estimate in minutes, making it easier than ever to see if solar is a smart move for you.
With rising utility bills and intensifying climate disasters, solar panels also offer long-term stability and resilience. With EnergySage's help, the average homeowner can save nearly $10,000 through solar tax credits and rebates. And while solar incentives like the federal Investment Tax Credit currently cover up to 30% of installation costs, Congress has signaled it may end this program soon.
Nothing is set in stone just yet, but homeowners who take advantage now could lock in savings worth thousands of dollars. If you're wondering how much you could save in your state, EnergySage's solar map tool shows average system costs, incentives, and projected savings, all tailored to your ZIP code.
Commenters on the TikTok were impressed with this homeowner's find.
"I want solar panels now," one wrote. Another said: "We had solar panels in Cali & omg our bill was like $20 in the summer whilst my in-laws bill was like $500 in the summer." A third summed it up best: "Yes I love our solar panels. Those credits are the best feeling!"
