Do solar installers need to be licensed or certified?

<div><p>In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.</p></div>

What questions should I ask a solar panel company before hiring?

<div><p>There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-solar-panels/">local solar panel company</a> before hiring them:</p><ul><li><p>Will you handle permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Does your total price include the equipment and labor?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation process to take?</p></li><li><p>What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?</p></li><li><p>Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?</p></li><li><p>Will you file for solar incentives for me?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Are solar panels worth it?

<div><p>In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-solar-panels-work.htm">Solar panels</a> don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.</p></div>

Do I need permits for solar panel installation?

<div><p>Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.</p></div>

I've had nothing but good service from Tone Nichols over five years since the system was originally installed. We had a squirrel problem, which she got fixed. And we have a leak caused by a careless workman on the roof.

WORST customer service I've EVER experienced. I called to schedule the removal and reinstall of my panels in the same phone call because I knew exactly when my roof was to be replaced and completed. They "scheduled" me for both. When time came for the reinstall, no one showed up. I called and my...

This installation was a disaster from my point of view, with little to no consideration for the homeowners time or convenience, multiple days required due to the installers not having the complete system components at the first day of installation and having to return for additional days due to...

They are no longer in town. They are trying to be nationwide. I would warn people not to use them at all. I spent too much money. They are a bad company. They are a rip-off; they are fraudulent. I would definitely not use them again.

"Company sent 2 representatives to evaluate our solar issue. We waited for estimate which was never received and all attempts to contact them for it were ignored. Also, when they came out to inspect system 1 of 3 panels was working but when they left nothing worked. We hired another company whose one technician had us up and running in under 2 days."
