THE SHORT ANSWER
A home sale can change the WREC member and property owner while separate equipment or financing agreements remain. Verify each relationship in writing.
Identify every owner
Use contracts and account records to name the home owner, equipment owner, borrower or lessor, WREC member and monitoring administrator.
Ask WREC about the incoming member
Confirm current account and customer-generation steps through the cooperative’s official channel. Do not guarantee that historical credits or terms transfer. Save the representative, date and case reference.
Deliver the system file
DOE advises keeping system and warranty information. [2] Provide utility approvals, permits, as-builts, equipment inventory, service history and monitoring transfer instructions.
Disclose open issues
Record alerts, roof concerns, unresolved transfers and missing documents. Use title, legal, lending, tax and insurance professionals for decisions within their disciplines.
