Moving?
If you’re moving from a house that has solar panels, you have several options for what to do with them. Here are some of the most common options:
- Transfer the solar system: You can transfer the solar panels to your new house, assuming the new house is compatible with the solar panels, and you’re not leaving them as part of the sale agreement. It’s important to note that there may be costs associated with taking the panels down, transporting them, and reinstalling them at the new location.
2. Leave the solar panels behind: If you’re selling your home, you may choose to leave the solar panels behind as part of the sale. This can be a selling point for buyers, especially if they’re interested in reducing their carbon footprint or saving money on energy bills. However, it’s important to make sure you have a clear understanding with the buyer about what will happen to the solar system after closing.
Ultimately, the best option for what to do with your solar panels when you move will depend on your specific situation. it’s important to do your research, get quotes from several companies, and work closely with your real estate agent to make an informed decision that benefits you and the next owner of your home.
