For agents, lenders, sellers, buyers and investors: collect the solar contract, registration, payoff, permit, interconnection and filing-source facts that help the right reviewer answer the right question.
Solar equipment can touch a sale in several different ways: a payoff, buyer assumption, transfer consent, lender condition, permit question, interconnection record, contractor clue or UCC filing. This handoff keeps those sources separated so the file can move to the right reviewer without turning the first email into a legal conclusion.
Name the source, attach the solar document you have, and ask one process question. The contract, solar company instructions, lender conditions, public records, title commitment, attorney advice and underwriter review still control the file-specific result.
These sources were checked on September 17, 2026. They help frame the solar packet, but they do not replace solar-company, lender, utility, city, title, underwriting or legal review.
TDLR says it is accepting residential solar retailer and salesperson registration applications, while temporarily suspending enforcement of two disclosure and educational-material rules until November 1, 2026. That makes the TDLR program page a better source than a stale sales flyer.
Read the official source ->TDLR's phased rollout notes contract provisions beginning September 1, 2025 and registration requirements beginning September 1, 2026. It also flags licensed electrical contractor, permit, interconnection, cancellation and third-party lender provisions that may belong in the handoff packet.
Read the official source ->TDLR's active license search can look up licenses by type, number, expiration date, name, business name, city, county or ZIP. Send the lookup clue or screenshot when the file mentions a contractor, retailer, salesperson or installation issue.
Read the official source ->The SOS FAQ says UCC filings and searches are handled online through the SOS Portal, and it distinguishes county-clerk filings for fixture filings involving goods that are or will become fixtures from Secretary of State filings in other cases. Send the filing number, search source and release request status instead of guessing at legal effect.
Read the official source ->A solar handoff does not need to determine whether equipment is personal property, a fixture, a title exception or a lender condition. It needs enough source context for the right professional to identify the next step.
