Not all solar panel agreements are created equal. Some are straightforward: panels are owned free and clear, and you enjoy the benefits of cheaper power. Others? They can be complicated, expensive, and restrictive.

If the seller financed their solar system with a lease or loan, those terms often transfer to you. That means you’ll inherit the payment obligations—and sometimes need approval from the solar company just to close the deal.

Here’s what to verify before you buy:

• Is there a lease, loan, or PPA tied to the panels?
• What’s the remaining term and payment amount?
• Do you qualify to assume the agreement?
• Are there buyout or removal options?

This is where buyers often get burned—by skipping the fine print. At House Karma, we’ll guide you through these details and make sure you’re not blindsided by a contract you didn’t fully understand.
