I simply would not put them on my home because I would hate to look at them when I come home.

All of those are opinion based. I personally wouldn't care if someone else thinks they look bad. I think raised ranches are ugly and that doesn't stop people from building them. I don't don't think asphalt shingles look good, yet I don't mind solar panels. My opinion of aesthetics are pretty irrelevant to redlites decision.
As far as home value, owned solar panels will almost always increase the value of the home, unless the inverter is ancient. The purchasers utility costs will be substantially lower and that is appealing to many people. Most cases the return on investment will be about 10 years. The life of the inverter is typically around 20 years. That is 10 years free electricity.
