Transferring ownership of your Enphase solar system is an essential step for new homeowners. It ensures they can monitor the system’s performance through the Enlighten platform and maintain warranty coverage. Best of all, the process is quick and simple, taking less than 5 minutes. With Vital Energy Solutions by your side, you’ll have support every step of the way. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Gather the Required Information
The homebuyer (new owner) will need the System ID to complete the transfer. The System ID is unique to your solar installation and can typically be found on system documentation or by contacting the installer. If you’re unsure where to locate it, Vital Energy Solutions can assist you.
Step 2: Visit the Enphase Transfer of Ownership Page
To start the process, head to the official Enphase Transfer of Ownership page. This portal is designed to make the transfer process straightforward and hassle-free.
Step 3: Create an Enlighten Account (If Needed)
If the new owner doesn’t already have an Enlighten account, they’ll be prompted to create one. This account is essential for monitoring the system’s performance and energy production.
Step 4: Complete the Transfer Form
Fill out the transfer form with the required details, including the System ID, property address, and contact information. This step ensures that the new owner is linked to the solar system within Enphase’s network.
Step 5: Pay the Transfer Fee
A small transfer fee of $199 is required to process the ownership change. This fee ensures warranty continuity and access to the Enlighten monitoring platform.
Step 6: Wait for Confirmation
Once the form is submitted and the payment is processed, Enphase will review the request. Typically, you’ll receive a confirmation email within 48 hours, indicating the transfer is complete.
Why Transfer Ownership of Your Enphase Solar System?
Transferring ownership is vital for uninterrupted system monitoring, warranty protection, and overall system reliability. It ensures the new owner can access real-time performance data and receive timely updates and alerts about the system.
What happens if I don’t transfer my Enphase system to the new owner?
Without a transfer, the new homeowner can’t access the Enlighten platform—meaning no system data, alerts, or remaining warranty support.
Can I transfer ownership without the System ID?
No—the System ID is required. If it’s been misplaced, Vital Energy Solutions can help retrieve it from past records.
Is the $199 transfer fee mandatory?
Yes, Enphase charges a one-time $199 processing fee to complete the ownership transfer.
Tips to avoid delays:
• Double-check details (System ID, address, contacts)
• Start the process early during a home sale
• Have the new owner set up their Enlighten account ahead of time
The transfer process is quick and important—and we’re here to guide homeowners every step of the way.
