4kw solar PV system on the first feed in tariff - anyone sold theirs on ?

Slammeddeluxe

Hi, we have had our solar PV system for quite a few years now and may sell our house in the near future. Our generation is good but I have been approached by a company to sell our panels and feed in tariff. They will remain on our roof and would give us a cash lump sum. Has anyone been given a price to sell their similar system ? Thanks - Paul

We've had similar posts here before !   General consensus has been that potential buyers wpuld want to drop their offer by rather more than you might get from the rentaroof peple !

If you sold the panels, the prospective buyers could then face the problem in getting a mortgage that some rent - a- roof buyers have experienced.

Its generally a bad idea.  Mortgage lenders see the owner of the panels as a third party interest on the property.  It makes it difficult (but no impossible) for buyers to get a mortgage.  It may put fringe purchasers off.
