If a moderate sized location goes out of business would solar panels have decent resale value?

Well, the prizes for new panels are still falling. And the cost of moving them might be too high..

But even used solar panels will be in demand.

Unless you need to demolish, you want to keep them in-place.

The panels stay generating even if the shop below has closed. The building remains owned by someone who has a financial interest in keeping them running.

They would make the property more valuable when you sell it.
