The license a Missouri solar installer needs
Missouri has no mandatory statewide license for solar or electrical contractors: cities and counties set their own electrical contractor licensing and permits, and the state's statewide electrical contractor license (Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors, RSMo 324.900-324.945) is optional but must be accepted by localities in lieu of a local license.[1]
A ten-minute installer check
- Look up the company's license by number with the official lookup above, and confirm the name and address match the contract.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ask who will handle the utility interconnection application and the permit, and who pays if the utility requires a meter or panel upgrade.
- Never sign on the first visit; check your cancellation rights and the financing terms, including dealer fees.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check a solar company's license in Missouri?
Use the official lookup: Official license lookup. Search by license number, which should be on the contract and the company's ads.
Can I cancel a solar contract after signing?
