Big life changes like selling your home can be exciting, but also come with a long to-do list. We’re here to guide you and help ensure your LightReach solar system is one less thing to stress about.
When selling your home, you have two options for your LightReach Lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA):
1. Transfer Your Lease to the New Homeowner
You can choose to transfer your lease agreement to the new homeowner. They’ll need to apply for a new LightReach contract and pass a credit check. Once their application is approved and the home sale is finalized, the solar system will be transferred to their name. The new homeowner will then enjoy all the benefits of your solar system, including the automatic transfer of any remaining system warranties.
Important: If the buyer does not meet LightReach's underwriting requirements, we may, at our discretion:
Remove the system OR
Offer alternate solutions while preserving our rights under the lease
Unless released in writing, you remain responsible for the lease until a transfer agreement is signed and the new owner is approved.
If you sell your home or transfer the lease without LightReach’s written approval, you will be in default of the lease agreement.
2. Prepay the Lease/PPA
Prepaying means you pay off the remaining lease balance upfront, and the system remains under lease, including the covered maintenance—but with no future monthly payments owed to Palmetto LightReach. This can be attractive to buyers who want the benefits of solar without the monthly payments.
To request a prepay quote, please fill out the form below, email us at [email protected] or call (855) 339-1831.
In certain situations, Palmetto may approve a purchase of the system to terminate the lease/PPA. Purchase of the system does not include any future maintenance on it.

Your chosen option (prepay or transfer)
For transfers:
New homeowner's full name, email address, and phone number.
Proof of ownership from the buyer (deed to the property, property title, or recent utility bill reflecting the buyer's name)
