FAQs

If you bought your solar system up-front or with a solar loan, how you proceed is up to you. We recommend that you sell it with your home and include the cost of the solar system in your home’s price. When you have a buyer, give us a call at 855-478-6786 ext. 3 or email us at servicetransfers@sunrun.com and we can assist with updating records to reflect the new owner.

In the unlikely event that the buyer doesn’t want to harness the sunlight hitting the roof by transferring your solar service agreement, you can prepay for the remainder of your service and bundle it into the price of your home. After paying for the remainder of your service, the new buyers will receive solar power from the system until the end of the solar service agreement, at which point Sunrun can remove the solar system at no extra cost.
