Course Description:

Solar Energy is a popular eco-friendly alternative power option for Florida Homeowners. In this class we will primarily be talking about Solar Panels. Solar panels are the devices that convert sun light into electricity. If solar panels are installed on a property that you are working with, there are key items that you as a Realtor® will need to know to better help your seller or buyer. Primarily, you should inquire about the terms under which the solar panels were installed, how to transfer the ownership or lease, and any costs associated with the transfer.
