Solar Installation Referrals?

[Lori B]

I'm curious… do most realtors typically have a solar company that they refer clients to?

I am not sure on that aspect, but I DO wish there was a bit more disclosure to buyers about the impact on insurance when you go solar. I am not saying that solar is a bad option, but I do think it is important that buyers make an informed decision. I recently had a client that had purchased a system that is so large and has such a large buyback, that it became a non-starter for most of my carriers. We were still able to cover him, but it doesn't seem a good practice to not advise them on it so they can decide if the benefit outweighs the lessening of options. He might have gone with a different type of system and made sure he could have plenty of choices.

It sounds like either Realtors or Solar agents (or both), should provide information to anyone who is considering solar panels!
