A solar transfer moves specified agreement rights and obligations from the current homeowner to an approved buyer. The process can include notice, buyer information, credit review, signed assumption documents and updates to monitoring, billing and property records.
The provider controls its required process
Contact the provider using the agreement's transfer channel. Ask for the complete document list, buyer requirements, fees and average processing time. Do not assume the title company will manage every step automatically.
The buyer needs the complete picture
Provide the payment schedule, remaining term, escalation, service responsibilities, production records and purchase options. Accurate disclosure reduces confusion and last-minute objections.
Closing is not the final operational step
After transfer, confirm account billing, monitoring access, service contacts and any property filing updates. Both parties should retain completed transfer documents.
What to confirm before you move forward
- ✓Notify the provider early

- ✓Disclose full remaining terms
