The Problem

Too many homes with solar are sold, inspected, or listed by professionals with no formal solar training. That leads to:

Warning

Incomplete disclosures

Warning

Missed equity

Warning

Undocumented systems

Warning

Unknowingly transferring problematic systems

Warning

Deals delayed or lost entirely

As solar adoption continues to grow, these issues will only become more common. You shouldn't have to be a seasoned solar expert to serve these homes—but understanding how they work, how they're financed, and how to clearly communicate their value is essential. By leveling up with the right tools and training, we can step up to better serve those buying and selling solar homes.
