This comprehensive tool is designed for policymakers, stakeholders, practitioners, students, consumers, and anyone looking for solar licensing information in the United States. States establish licensing requirements for contractors to protect consumers from unsafe practices and to ensure systems are installed properly.
After registering, contractors can contact local (county, city, township) government offices for specifics regarding local licensing and regulations. Frontenac requires North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) PV Installation Professionals for solar projects.
A licence is a contractual permission for a tenant to occupy a building or area of land for a defined purpose, such as using a rooftop for generating solar electricity only. It effectively prevents what would otherwise be a trespass.
The Vermont Energy Efficiency and Affordability Act (H.520, Section 28) establishes a Solar System Installation Specialty License, a new plumbing specialty license for solar hot water heating installations.
The gas and electricity supply licences set out the conditions that all energy suppliers must adhere to in order to supply energy to domestic and non-domestic consumers. We have compiled a range of guides to help suppliers and other stakeholders navigate and understand the obligations of energy suppliers.
Residential and Commercial General Contracting and Remolding Licenses may contract for solar installations. However, all work pertaining to the installation must be subcontracted to a properly licensed solar plumbing, air conditioning, boiler, electrical or swimming pool contractor.
