Covers every major solar brand — and all U.S. title jurisdictions
What we catch before you close
Solar complications delay or kill closings every day — a lease transfer that takes three weeks, a UCC lien from a bankrupt installer, an open permit the seller didn't know about. SolarDisclosure™ catches all of it before the transaction opens.
Solar lease companies require credit approval to transfer. A buyer who doesn't qualify kills the deal two weeks before close.
Buyer learns days before closing they're inheriting 15 years of monthly payments nobody mentioned. Transaction collapses or renegotiates.
Over 200 solar companies have gone bankrupt or ceased operations since 2018. Orphaned leases have no entity to execute the transfer. Closing delayed indefinitely.
Seller agrees to buy out the lease at closing. Payoff quote arrives at $28,000. Deal renegotiates — or dies — 72 hours out.
Lease paid off but UCC-3 termination never filed. Unresolved lien shows in title search. Title can't close.
Rushed 2019–2022 installs skipped final inspections. Open permit surfaces in title search. City inspector required — weeks of delay.

NEM tariff & closing risk
In California and a growing list of states, the seller's net-metering rate is grandfathered — but does not automatically transfer. When a new buyer takes title, the utility often resets to the current tariff, which pays 75–80% less for exported solar.
This changes the value proposition of the solar system and affects negotiation. Every SolarDisclosure™ report flags the exact NEM tariff, whether it transfers, and for how long.
Rules vary by state and utility.
California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and others have changed export compensation in the last 5 years. We verify the specific tariff for every property before flagging risk.
| State | Transfers on sale? | Battery rec? |
|---|---|---|
| California (IOU) | Partial — 9 yrs max | Yes |
| Arizona (APS) | Partial | Yes |
| Nevada | Current term only | Maybe |
| Hawaii | Closed to new enrollment | Yes |
| Texas | Varies by utility | Often |
| Florida | Transfers (for now) | Not yet |
Summary only — tariffs change. Verify with your specific utility.
FAQ
Every report includes: ownership type (owned vs. leased), UCC lien and PACE lien status, open permit check, installer standing and bankruptcy status, NEM tariff and transfer eligibility, active equipment warranties, production performance versus expected output, and a 0–100 disclosure score with color-coded risk flags. It's everything a buyer, title officer, or lender needs to close with confidence on a solar property.

Yes — and this is exactly where SolarDisclosure™ earns its fee. We track over 200 installer bankruptcies and closures since 2018. Our report identifies the installer's current status, whether any lease or UCC obligation survives, and what the transfer options are. Bankrupt-installer situations require more diligence, not less.
No. We're fully independent — we don't sell panels, batteries, leases, or financing, and we're not affiliated with any installer, manufacturer, or title company. We're paid by the professional ordering the report, and our only obligation is to the accuracy of the information we deliver.
Yes. Title companies and brokerages ordering multiple reports can contact us at hello@solardisclosure.io to discuss volume pricing and billing arrangements.
UCC lien and PACE checks cover all U.S. jurisdictions. Permit and installer data is deepest in California and Florida, where solar adoption and installer bankruptcies are most concentrated — and expanding. Contact us if you have a property in a state you're not sure about.
