How To: Initiate a Transfer of Ownership of Your System

*If you are part of the Illinois ABP, go here for more information on transferring your system. 

Not unlike how a home must be transferred between owners and buyers, solar systems must be transferred as well. 

If you are selling your system or leaving it with a home that you no longer own, you will need to initiate a transfer of ownership. After completing the request, a CSG representative will contact you to confirm the change, and official paperwork will be sent for signature to complete the process. 

If you have moved or plan to move, this is what you need to know. 

How to Streamline the Process

To expedite the process, submit all documents to your real estate agent, who can help facilitate the transfer.

When selling a home with a solar PV system, a real estate agent:

• Can help with the transfer process by connecting the seller to the buyer to complete the transfer.
• Will help contact the original solar installer to ensure all warranties and/or maintenance agreements are officially transferred to the new homeowner.
• They can provide the buyer with a copy of the solar agreement and Carbon Solutions Group's contact information.
• Coordinate a bill of sale and transfer of ownership agreements to ensure proper registration for the new owner. 

1. Complete Form

What is the difference between "Update Payment Address Request" and "Transfer of Ownership Request."

You will use the "Update Payment Address Request" tab to update the address on a system that you still own. This may happen when a customer is moving but maintaining ownership, and therefore, you are still entitled to the payments.

You will use the "Transfer of Ownership Request" tab if you are selling your system. 

* Please note the timing of your move may or may not impact your payments due to lag time in processing the address change. 

If your program is coming to an end, CSG will reach out to you to provide alternative options and guidance.
