You have no contract with solar company where can return the solar panels to the company. It is possible since the hardware is there can buy solar panels along with other equipment then the house will continue to use solar panels. Solar panels are dropping in price. There are videos on You tube how solar panels. --76.64.xx.xx

At this point the solar panels could be owned by the delinquent owner. However if there is a contract on the solar panelsand they are rented then have the company remove them. Before they remove the panels check the attic for leaks.

I would think the best method to repair the holes IF they take the anchors; is the easy out is fill the holes with roof type caulking. However this could be a temp fix. Each area that has a hole should be replaced with a new shingle, this will be the proper fix.

However, you're going to buy the foreclosure and most likely flip it. Then let the new owner deal with the solar panel they may keep the panels and decide to use them. --99.56.xx.xx

Some solar companies file a lien on the property until the panels are paid off or the property owners obligation is completed. Not sure how this factors into a foreclosure but it’s something to consider. The contracts usually have a fee stated if the owner wants the panels removed. --166.137.xxx.xx

Why not leave the solar panels and sell as an efficient home or rent that way? would it not bring more money and save you time and trouble? does the utilities company buy back the electricity? --73.120.xx.xxx

Johnny B the company's with liens have a right to bid on foreclosures to protect THEIR interest. Sales are cash on the court steps. Same with Mort co.s they bid what they are owed - when others bid higher in most case they stop bidding and wait for the cash from the sale.

6X I hold property's-- the less clutter in and on the property the less "maintenance" I need to do. I take out refrig's, unnecessary shelving, disposals. Get rid of anything and everything they could break or cost me $ to fix. --99.103.xxx.xxx

a few years ago Pennsylvania was offering some type tax credits if you got solar panels. A lot of folks bought into how it would not only save them money on their personal bills but also that the utilities would buy their excessive electricity at great monetary returns. I believe they all do save the money on their personal bills ...the buy back windfalls didn't happen because of how cheap utilities have been.

Anyway, the folks who did that took out mortgages on their properties to pay so they own the panels ...just have an extra pesky mortgage on their house.

New York also offered some type tax deal about 10 years ago. Double check there isn't a 2nd mortgage recorded. --72.70.xxx.xxx

Thank you Nicole. It is interesting to learn the buy backs did not happen. --73.120.xx.xxx

Nicole even if there is a 2nd that lien holder has a right to bid to protect their interest-- if they don't bid it up to cover their second -- and the property is sold for less-- THEY lose.

In foreclosure sales everyone owed money can bid the price up to cover their amount. --99.103.xxx.xxx

What type of foreclosure auction are you attending? It might be worth wild for you to do a title search on the place so you know if there was ever a lien filed on the place --72.23.xxx.xx
