What Happens if I Move? Here’s How to Transfer Your Solar Service in 3 Steps
Step 3: Transfer Ownership of the Solar System
Once the sale of the home and solar system is complete, the transfer of ownership must be properly documented. This may require legal documentation, such as a bill of sale or transfer of ownership form, to ensure the new homeowner is properly registered as the owner of the solar panel system. The new homeowner will need to check with the lender to certify no extra steps need to be taken. With a Blue Raven Solar system, we recommend reaching out to GoodLeap or SunPower Financial. You can find the contact information on their respective websites.
Any remaining loan payments will likely be covered by the sale of the home, so there will be no need to transfer the loan responsibilities. However, ensure it is written in the contract, so you do not have to worry about transferring ownership.
Additionally, you may need to update permits or licenses associated with the solar system to reflect new ownership. This could require working with local municipal authorities and your solar installation company to ensure all necessary paperwork is submitted and completed. If you are unaware of your city’s solar panel requirements, you can check with our Permitting team, and they can help you navigate the next steps.
