Can I transfer my solar panel system to a new home or owner if I move?

Asked 2 years ago
Transferring a solar panel system to a new home or owner can be a complex process, and it often depends on several factors, including the type of solar arrangement in place, such as ownership or leasing. If the homeowner owns the solar panel system outright, it is generally possible to move the system to a new location. However, this process can require significant planning and may require the assistance of professionals to safely uninstall the panels and relocate them to the new site. Additionally, the new home needs to have suitable conditions for solar panel installation, including orientation, roof space, and local regulations. If the solar panel system is leased, a transfer may be permitted, but it usually involves notifying the leasing company and obtaining their approval. The leasing company may require certain criteria to be met before transferring the lease to a new owner or property. It is always recommended to check the terms of the original contract or lease and consult the current web page for more specific guidance based on your unique circumstances. Do keep in mind that local regulations and incentives may also affect the transfer process.
