Buying a house with solar panels in Florida can be a good thing. It can also be the part of the deal nobody explains clearly until you are three days from your inspection deadline. The panels may be owned outright. They may be financed. They may be leased. They may be producing exactly what the seller says, or they may have been sitting half-asleep for months because nobody checked the monitoring account. The roof may be fine. Or the mounting points may be the reason your fir

A solar inspection checklist gives you a way to slow the deal down just enough to see what you are really buying. That matters in Florida. Solar panels can lower electric bills and add value, but they can also hide roof issues, missing paperwork, poor production, expired warranties, or a contract the buyer does not want to inherit. Blue Energy Electric inspects solar homes for buyers across Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and Indian River counties. Use this checklist before yo

Most home inspectors will note that solar panels are present. That is not the same as a solar inspection. If you are buying a Florida home with panels on the roof, do not assume your standard home inspection covers production, inverter status, monitoring, warranty transfer, FPL net metering, roof attachments, or solar permit history. Some inspectors may review visible components. Many will recommend that the buyer hire a solar company for a separate review. That extra step ca

The most important solar question in a home sale is not how many panels are on the roof. It is this: who owns them? The FTC's current solar power consumer advice divides residential solar into three basic paths: buying the system, leasing the system, or signing a power purchase agreement. In a home sale, those details can affect the buyer's monthly cost, loan approval, warranty rights, transfer steps, and sometimes the closing timeline. Blue Energy Electric inspects solar hom

Solar panel warranty transfer is one of those home-sale details people ask about too late. The seller says the system has a warranty. The listing repeats it. Everyone feels better. Then, after closing, the new owner discovers the warranty needed a transfer form, registration proof, original purchase date, or installer documentation that never made it into the file. Do not treat "has a warranty" as enough. Ask what kind of warranty, who backs it, what it covers, and how it tra
