Solar panels removal

[Doron Rice]

I saw a nice property that I want to flip (in NJ). this property has solar panels on the roof which I plan to remove (house needs new roof). the property is sold in an as is condition (short sale).  I wonder if the lease of the solar panels will transfer to the new owner or they are leased personally to whoever bought them and I wont have to assume the lease if I to buy the house. It'll heart me selling a house with solar panels debt attached to the house.
