No, it makes the upfront cost of a house more expensive, it is a fine example.

Basically nobody buys a house outright, so they're not paying the upfront cost anyway, they're taking out a loan. Taking out a larger loan so that you have a larger loan payment when the increase is less than the amount the panels save you in buying electricity from the power company doesn't cost you anything, it turns a profit.

Being forced to pay for a parking space even when you don't own a car costs you rather a lot.
