Sometimes it’s harder to sell a house with solar panels, but not always. The process is relatively straightforward if you own the solar panels on the house you’re selling. However, it can occasionally complicate appraisals if you don’t include them in the value of your home. It’s often more challenging to sell a home if you lease solar panels. You most likely will have to buy out of the lease or transfer the lease to your buyer. Some companies allow early termination, though an exit fee will likely apply. Transferring a solar lease can become complicated because the buyer and seller must both cooperate.
