Sunrun Solar Transfer Guide

Review Sunrun solar lease, PPA, transfer, buyer assumption, warranty, and closing coordination questions.

Company Overview

Sunrun is commonly associated with residential solar leases, PPAs, and service agreements. In a sale, buyers and sellers should confirm transfer requirements, payment obligations, service terms, and closing responsibilities early.

This guide is educational and does not replace instructions from the company, title professionals, attorneys, lenders, or other qualified transaction participants.

Typical Transfer Process

  • Determine whether the Sunrun system is leased, under a PPA, financed, or owned.
  • Request transfer instructions and buyer qualification requirements.
  • Confirm any transfer fees, approval timing, or account change steps.
  • Coordinate transfer status with the purchase contract, title team, and counsel.
  • Verify post-closing billing, monitoring, and service account updates.

Commonly Requested Documents

  • Sunrun lease, PPA, or service agreement
  • Transfer request or buyer approval forms
  • Recent billing and production records
  • Warranty and maintenance documentation
  • Solar addendum and purchase agreement
  • Any title, UCC, or filing-related records

Questions to Ask

  • What type of Sunrun agreement applies to the home?
  • Does the buyer need approval before closing?
  • Are there transfer fees, buyout terms, or payment escalators?
  • Who is responsible if transfer approval is delayed?
  • How is account access changed after closing?

Potential Risks

  • Lease and PPA terms may create buyer concerns about long-term payments.
  • Buyer approval can be a closing dependency if not started early.
  • Contract documents may not explain the fallback if approval is denied.
  • Warranty and maintenance responsibilities may need clearer documentation.
  • Post-closing disputes can arise if account transfer is assumed but not verified.
