The license a Georgia solar installer needs

Residential solar installation can count as electrical contracting, so the installer must be associated with an electrical contractor licensed by the State Construction Industry Licensing Board (Division of Electrical Contractors).[1]

Official license lookup[2]

A ten-minute installer check

  1. Look up the company's license by number with the official lookup above, and confirm the name and address match the contract.
  2. Ask whether the crew lead holds the NABCEP PV Installation Professional certification (check it in the NABCEP directory[3]). It is voluntary but shows tested experience.
  3. Get at least three written quotes for the same system size, with the price per watt, panel and inverter models and warranty terms spelled out.
  4. Ask who will handle the utility interconnection application and the permit, and who pays if the utility requires a meter or panel upgrade.
  5. Never sign on the first visit; check your cancellation rights and the financing terms, including dealer fees.

Installers we have verified
