Purchasing a home with solar.

Congratulations! You’re buying a home with solar panels. What does that mean for you?

‍

Solar is a smart investment, which means purchasing a home with solar is a smart investment. With the help of your new PV panels, you’re saving money on your monthly utility bill and becoming more independent from the increasing price of fossil fuels.

‍

There are a few options when purchasing a home with solar. You can learn more about them in our blog post “Selling a home with solar”. 

‍

Our favorite option is taking over the lease agreement from the previous homeowner. Lucky for you, Sunrun offers a 100% guarantee that you, as the purchaser, will qualify to assume the agreement. By choosing this option, you have little to no up-front cost because the price of the system is not included in the home.

‍

If the previous homeowner chose the “full-lease” agreement, another great option, you may be paying for part of that cost but you will have no monthly payment. You can read more about the full-lease option from Sunrun here.

Michael Naughton, a Sunrun customer, shared his experience of purchasing a home with a Sunrun system. He said, “To be honest, I haven’t thought a lot about the process of the transfer since we moved in at the end of last summer—it was that easy. The Sunrun service transfer team made the process simple by communicating regularly with me about the required forms for the transfer. There was a good amount of coordinating between the parties (sellers, realtor, ourselves, the utility company), but Sunrun managed it all seamlessly.”

The process really is that simple.
