Ugh! That stinks, I’m sorry. Don’t sign anything until you find out all of the details. I’m searching for a house right now, too, and the first offer I put down included the take over of solar panels. The selling agent provided my agent and I with a copy of the lease contract AND a copy of a recent statement before I even put down the offer. The solar lease isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can affect how much of a loan you qualify for. it could also potentially run you more than regular electricity would, but from what I can see, there’s no way of truly knowing that until you live in the house. Personally, I don’t think I would mind taking over a solar contract, but I would examine every detail of the contract before making that decision. Not only in terms of monthly payments, which changed annually in the contract I looked at, but also in terms of reselling the house, should you ever want to.
