☀️ Solar panels may lower your electric bill—but what happens when it’s time to sell?
From my experience, things can get complicated:
💰 Remaining balance: Financed or leased panels may require a payoff or approved transfer.
🏦 Buyer financing: Added solar payments could reduce purchasing power—or affect mortgage approval.
🏠 Roof condition: I’ve seen improper installation compromise shingles, only to discover the installer was out of business.
Before buying, selling or installing, research the contract, costs, roof condition and warranties. Research the installation company. Make sure solar fits your home—and your future plans.
Thinking about a move? Let’s talk through the details early.
