Simply transfer the solar agreement to the new buyers since they will certainly need electricity too. When the buyer signs the transfer agreement, it releases the seller from obligations.

The basic unit of a solar panel is a solar cell. These cells are assembled into solar modules, which connect together to form a solar panel. When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the photovoltaic cells in the solar panel. This absorbed energy produces electricity for your home.

The system will resume functionality (on its own) once the grid is up and running again.
