If you are selling or refinancing your home with a Tesla solar system, navigate to the relevant section below and follow the steps outlined to initiate the process.
Note: Only the system owners can initiate the contract reassignment process. If you are the buyer or escrow, reach out to the system owner to initiate the contract reassignment process with us.
Transferring Your System
Reach out to the appropriate team depending on the type of contract you have for your Tesla solar system if you are transferring it in one of the following cases:
- Home Sale
- Contract Transfer without a Real Estate Transaction

If you have a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), lease, MyPower Loan or subscription:

If you purchased with cash:
Once your home sale is complete, have the buyer initiate the Ownership Transfer Request. We will need a copy of the recorded deed to get the account transferred. For additional support, contact Energy Customer Support.
If you purchased with a third-party loan (Mosaic or Sunlight):
Work with your loan provider to transfer the loan contract. Once your home sale and loan transfer is complete, have the buyer initiate the Ownership Transfer Request with a copy of the recorded deed to get the account transferred. For additional support, contact Energy Customer Support.
