What are my options if I still owe on a solar lease when I sell?

Owing on a solar lease at the time of sale gives you two main paths: pay off the remaining balance from your sale proceeds at closing, or have the buyer take over the lease by applying and qualifying with the solar company. Which option makes sense depends on the payoff amount relative to your equity and whether a buyer will take on the lease terms as written. Getting the payoff figure and transfer paperwork early prevents it from stalling a contract. Joel Boss can help you start that process.
