Can You Take Your Solar Panels With You

If you move after getting solar panels, you typically leave the system with the house and that’s a good thing. Most buyers see solar as a bonus because it lowers energy bills, boosts home value, and requires no extra work. If your system is fully paid off, it transfers easily. If it’s financed, you can either pay it off before selling or transfer the loan to the new homeowner if they qualify. While it is possible to take your panels with you, it’s rarely done due to the high cost and complexity of removal and reinstallation. In most cases, leaving the solar system boosts your home’s appeal and helps it sell faster.
