Chapter 11 · Buying and Selling Homes with Solar
11.1.4 Avoid homes with PPA / leased solar if you can
Earlier chapters cover the PPA / lease problems in detail. Read those first.
If a home for sale has a PPA / lease contract attached to its solar, that system is a liability — it lowers the property's value and creates ongoing friction.
The clean exit: have the seller buy out the PPA / lease before closing. Then collect the post-buyout warranty docs along with everything else listed above.
