What Happens If I Move Home Solar System

We get it, life happens. That’s why we have an entire team of professionals standing by to help you sell your solar home and transfer your contract to the new owners. Sunrun makes it easy to transfer your solar lease agreement and pass along those ridiculously low energy bills to the new owners. Our Service Transfer Specialists handle everything from educating realtors and potential buyers to working with escrow officers, title agents, home inspectors, and anyone else who might need to know about your system or solar lease agreement.

To ensure everything goes according to plan, here are some helpful tips for a smooth move:  

1. Connect with our Service Transfer team before your home goes on the market. We’ll help prepare your realtor to sell the value of solar.

2. Inform potential buyers early on that the solar lease agreement is a contingency of the home sale to avoid hiccups during negotiations.

3. Once you’ve got a buyer, you’ll both sign Sunrun’s service transfer form and we’ll run a credit check on the buyer.

4. Finally, just send us confirmation that escrow has closed and you’ll be home free.

In the unlikely event that the buyer doesn’t want to take on the agreement, you can prepay for the remainder of your service and bundle it into the selling price of your home. You can also buy the system outright and move it to your new home, but it’s generally easier and more cost-effective to transfer the agreement to the new homeowners.

Solar panels are a hot commodity for homes. In fact, according to National Renewable Energy Labratory, homes with solar panels sold 20% faster and for 17% more.* Homeowners across the country want in on clean energy, and are willing and ready to make the investment. That’s why the hardest thing about moving won’t be selling your home—it’ll be saying sayonara to those beautiful, money-saving panels on your roof.
