Panels, inverters and batteries are not always fixtures. A clear clause on what stays with the house avoids a dispute on transfer day.
In short
Whether solar panels, inverters and batteries stay with a house when it is sold depends on how they are installed and on what the sale agreement says.
What it means for you
Equipment permanently attached to a property is usually treated as part of it and passes to the buyer. Removable batteries and portable inverters can be argued either way, and buyers and sellers often assume different things.
What to do next
List the solar equipment in the offer to purchase and state clearly what is included. If any part of the system is financed or leased, disclose that too, so the buyer knows exactly what they are taking on.
