Does Your Team Have the Right Solar PV Licenses? Here’s How You Can Tell
If you live in the USA, you probably need to be licensed to install solar PV systems. There are a few reasons for this, but most importantly, it protects homeowners. Unlicensed installers may cause unnecessary damage to homes and endanger those living there. As a result, most states require an electrician’s license at a minimum, and many recommend or require further solar installer certification.
Here’s everything you need to know about what is required to be a licensed and certified solar installer in the United States, from the benefits to a breakdown of each state’s specific solar certification requirements.
Do you need a license to install solar panels?
The short answer to this question is “no,” but if you want to start a solar business or start working for an already established one, you will likely need some sort of training and certification to use your skills professionally.
Anyone can walk into a home improvement store or contact a distributor, buy a few panels and install them on a roof. If you actually want to make a living doing so, however, you’ll need some proof that you’re a reputable installer to get hired and start making sales with the public.
Why get licensed?
The legal right to install
It is illegal to install solar PV systems without an electrician’s license in most states. However, some, such as Alaska, only require general contractor licenses. If you already do solar installations, you will know this (of course), but if you are looking to get into the industry, check what is required in your state in our list below.
Further certifications may not be required for legal reasons, but there are certainly benefits to getting them. Benefits include a higher level of skill and knowledge than your competitors, which can set you apart from the rest and ensure that homeowners choose you as the more reputable installer.
Increased incentives for customers
In some states, homeowners will not be eligible for certain incentives or rebates if their installation company doesn’t have PV certifications. For instance, homeowners may not be eligible for certain rebates in Pennsylvania unless their installer is NABCEP, ISPQ Accredited, or NECA certified.
Since solar panels are such a large investment for many people, most homeowners will avoid choosing a company that can’t get them the best deal on their system, and as you may know, incentives, rebates, and tax credits are a great way to lower the overall cost of the system and installation.
Offering a proposal to a homeowner without a “rebates and incentives” section is a sure way to ensure that your quote gets thrown out, especially if someone has already received a proposal from a certified company that can offer a better price through such discounts.
Make the sales process easier by creating trust
Certification above and beyond the minimum can be very helpful for solar sales. These certifications help reduce stress and worry for homeowners, leading to an easier sales process. Even better, NABCEP certified installers get listed on the Certified Installer Locator. You can also display the certification badge on your website to make it clear to all prospective customers that you are trained professionals.
The construction industry has a bit of a reputation for being full of fly-by-night, untrustworthy salespeople and contractors, which leaves many homeowners on high alert when shopping around for home improvement projects like solar installations. Wear your certifications and licenses with pride, and display them everywhere it’s relevant to give people peace of mind that your work is high-quality and meets all the performance and safety required by your state’s government.
How to get certified to install solar panels
Your first step is to check out the state-specific requirement list below and learn about what is absolutely required to become a professional solar installer in your state. Next, you’ll want to look at the “nice-to-have” solar certifications available both in your state and in the country to set yourself above your local competition.
Many local colleges and vocational schools offer electrician training, and some even have specialty courses on renewable technology and solar PV installation. If you’re brand new to the industry, get started with learning about the basics of how solar panels work and are wired before signing up and paying for a course and exam on the technology. This will increase your odds of passing the course and ensure that you don’t get stuck having to redo any classes or exams a second time, which has the potential to be a huge time-sink and waste of money.
No matter where you are, getting certified with NABCEP is a must for anyone looking to start a career in the solar industry, as this will not only get you high-quality training but will also open you up to the solar installer community and the companies operating in your area, and in the country as a whole, allowing you to make friends, network, and potentially find a job once you’re certified.
What level of qualification is required by your state?
You can determine what qualifications are required to set up shop in your state by checking the Interstate Renewable Energy Council’s (IREC) National Solar Licensing Database. This useful tool allows you to check requirements by state. It outlines the licensing requirements, electric codes, and incentive requirements for all states in the US.

How Does Solar Panel Installation Work in Ireland?
Solar panel installation might seem really technical but in fact if you have the right installers and follow the right steps, it can be easier than you think! Some people might also be wondering if you can do a solar panel installation yourself and how much you might save. In our solar panel installation guide, we’ll walk you through how the solar panel installation process works!

Where Do I Begin with My Solar Panel Installation?
A solar panel installation might seem like a tall ordeal when you get started with your transition to renewable energy, but in fact it’s relatively simple. The hard bit comes right at the beginning where you will need to get your property assessed for the type of solar panels you want installed as well as the dimensions of your property. Researching beforehand can also save you a lot of headaches further down the line!
What Types of Solar Panels Are There?
There are three main types of solar panels you can have installed in Ireland. Each has a slightly different way of utilising sunlight to convert it into solar energy for your property and they can vary greatly in terms of costs. The three main types you can get in Ireland are: photovoltaic, thermodynamic, and solar thermal.
- Photovoltaic Solar PanelsPhotovoltaic (PV) solar panels are the preferred option in Ireland. Unlike the other two, PV panels will work even in low sunlight situations since they convert it into electricity through the photovoltaic effect meaning the only time they don’t work is at night. Photovoltaic solar panels usually cost upwards of €4,000.
- Thermodynamic Solar PanelsThermodynamic solar panels create hot water instead of converting sunlight directly to electricity. With thermodynamic solar panels, a cold liquid refrigerant is circulated through the panel. This liquid absorbs the heat from the air outside the panel and from the infrared rays emitted by the sun. Thermodynamic solar panels cost upwards of €4,500.
- Solar Thermal PanelsSolar thermal panels directly collect heat from the sun. It’s similar to a dark car, where the heat inside the car can far surpass the temperature outside upon significant exposure to sunlight. They’re slightly cheaper than the other two solar panels, costing between €2,800 and €3.000.
Who Can Do a Solar Panel Installation?
The truth is anyone can do a solar panel installation and you do not need to be specially qualified to hook up your solar panel system to your electricity to benefit from solar energy.
However, if you don’t have experience with solar panels or as an electrician, it’s much wiser to let someone who’s been properly trained to do the installation for you, though it doesn’t matter who you hire to set them up.
Although you can hire anyone, if you want to take advantage of the SEAI grant scheme for solar you will need to hire an SEAI approved solar panel installer.
Where Can I Find a Solar Panel Installer Near Me?
There are a number of SEAI approved solar panel installers who provide solar panel installation for everyone throughout Ireland. You can also use a company who isn’t on the approved list, but it’s generally better if you want to avoid the high upfront cost. Here’s a table of the main solar panel installers in Ireland:
| Electric Ireland | Yes | No | No |
| Solartricity | Yes | No | No |
| Solar Electric | Yes | No | No |
| Alternative Energy Ireland | Yes | No | Yes |
| NRG Panel | Yes | Yes | No |
| Green House Renewable Energy | Yes | No | Yes |
| LVP Renewables | Yes | Yes | No |
| Thermasol | Yes | Yes | No |
| PureVolt Solar | Yes | No | No |

What Are the Risks of a Solar Panel Installation?
Making any additions to your property might have you worried that a solar panel installation might lead to problems in the future when it comes to your house’s value. There are some risks both making the addition as well as the actual solar panel installation itself.
Do Solar Panels Need Planning Permission?
You won’t need to get planning permission for a solar panel installation. Since solar panels are a small addition to your property, they don’t come under the reasons why you would need to get planning permission. Planning permission is generally needed if you’re planning to:
Solar panels don’t fall into this category so you should be fine to go ahead without planning permission. If you have a protected property or are in a protected area, you should make contact with your local authority just in case.
What Risks Are There During a Solar Panel Installation?
One of the main reasons you should let a professional handle your solar panel installation is because it can be a dangerous job. With professional installers, you can avoid most of these risks:
When you have your solar panels installed, there will still be some risks that you should think about before going through with your solar panel installation. These can be higher risks to your property than would without solar panels.
- Damage from Weather ConditionsYour solar panels can get damaged if there’s any extreme weather such as storms or hailing. Although most modern solar panels are reinforced against weather damage, it is still a possibility and can cause short circuiting.
- Decreased Fire Service AccessWith solar panels being located on the roof, this could reduce the access for the fire service if you have a fire. You should make sure that when you get your solar panels installed that you have a fire safety assessment after installing them.
- Electrical Fire RiskGiven they are an electrical appliance, there is an increase in the risk of having an electric fire if something goes wrong with a solar power component. This could be due either to the solar panels themselves being damaged or an issue with the solar battery if you choose to get one installed.
- TheftThe risk of theft and vandalism can also be increased if you have solar panels installed. This can lead to further damage to your property if you don’t take the right measures to protect your home after a solar panel installation.
What about solar panel insurance? Generally speaking, your insurance premiums won’t change after getting solar panels installed. Since they are now part of most home insurance packages nowadays, you shouldn’t experience an increase. However, if the solar panels increase the value of your home then this might impact your premiums in some way or another.
Can I Do a Solar Panels Installation Myself in Ireland?
As mentioned above, you can do the solar panel installation yourself. However, it is very much advised that you don’t if you are not a trained electrician due to the risks outlined above. However, if you know what you’re doing, you can carry out your own solar panel installation without any problems in terms of permission or licensing.
Can a Normal Electrician Install Solar Panels?
You don’t need to have a specific solar panel licensed installer to install your solar panels and you can hire a normal electrician to install them for you. However, you will not usually find an electrician who will also supply the solar panels for you so you will need to buy them separately. You will also not be able to access the SEAI solar panel grant.
Is It Cheaper To Install Solar Panels Yourself?
Since you won’t be able to get the SEAI solar panel grant for your solar panel installation, it is unlikely that if you do it yourself without a registered solar panel installer that it will come out cheaper. However, you might be able find solar panels that are cheaper that you can buy separately and then hire an electrician for less. You shouldn’t do any solar panel repairs yourself unless you’re using a specifically DIY solar panel kit.

How Long Does a Solar Panel Installation Take?
How long a solar panel installation takes to complete will depend on the type of property you want to install the system for since the size will be the biggest factor. If you have a larger property, such as a farm or business, it will naturally take longer than if you were installing them on a small house.
How Long Does an Average House Solar Panel Installation Take?
The rated capacity is essentially the quantity of solar panels you will be installing so the bigger the property, the more panels you’ll need. For the average house, for example a 3-Bed Semi-Detached, you will generally need solar panels of a rated capacity of 4.10 kW. This will usually only take a day or less to get them fully installed and working.
For houses, it is unlikely that your solar panel installation will go on longer than a week and is usually done on the same day. However, your property might have awkward wiring or other problems that might mean the installation takes a little longer!
How Long Does a Farm Solar Panel Installation Take?
For farms, naturally the solar panel installation can take a little longer. In order to power a farm, there needs to be a lot more of them and they can take a little more planning to get them right. However, even with farms, the solar panel installation process shouldn’t take longer than a week!
You also might struggle with finding farm solar panel installers however larger companies like Electric Ireland will have them on offer and might also offer you a discount if you’re already a customer. You should note that it is possible that you might need planning permission if you’re installing solar panels for your farm so remember to contact your local authority to make you have everything required.
How Can I Get a Solar Panel Installation Grant?
You can get a solar panel grant from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) that can discount the high upfront cost of a solar panel. This can really since solar panels can be very expensive and it can be quite daunting before going to pay for one. The SEAI have solar panel grant amounts that vary with the amount of solar panels you want to install and is based on peak kilowatt hours:
How Do I Qualify for the SEAI Solar Panel Grant?
In order to qualify for an SEAI grant for your solar panel installation, you will need to make sure that you comply with the following requirements:
- Be a homeowner
- Use a registered company; you can’t install them on your own
- Get you electricity safety certificates
- Get connected to the Electricity Distribution System through the ESB

SEAI approved solar panel installers Benefits, Grants, and how to check who’s officially registered
Firstly, just to confirm that yes, PureVolt Solar is an SEAI approved PV Solar Panel company.
Sometimes you’ll hear companies such as us being called SEAI-approved solar panel companies or, SEAI-registered solar panel companies. they mean the same thing.
What are the benefits of using an SEAI-approved installer?
The main benefit to you is grant eligibility. if you want to claim an SEAI grant towards your solar panels, the work must be done by an SEAI-approved solar panel installer.
There are other benefits too. as checks have been done on registered installers, special domestic solar PV training must have been done, we all follow their code of practice, and the SEAI carry out inspections to make sure such standards are maintained.
How do I check who is officially registered with the SEAI?
You can check their website to see the SEAI’s list of approved solar PV companies.
There are currently 177 SEAI approved solar PV companies in Ireland (as of July 2022)! Even if some of them are inactive, that’s a lot of choice! So we genuinely appreciate you considering PureVolt Solar, thank you!
Please note though this is only updated about once per month. if you have a quote from a newly registered company they may not yet appear on the official list.
Watch out for the other lists!
The SEAI’s website isn’t always the most clear. do watch out for other lists on there. For you to get the domestic solar PV grant, then the company must be registered as a solar PV company.
Solar thermal (panels that make hot water only) is a different list and has different companies on it, as is one-stop shops (who offer a range of services). A company must be on the list of SEAI registered Solar PV Companies for you to get the solar PV grant. The link above will take you to the right place.
What does an SEAI Approved Solar Panel Installer mean?
SEAI Approved Solar Panel installation companies are private companies / self-employed people. we do not work for the SEAI.
The SEAI have done some basic checks, and the companies have signed up to certain standards of work. The SEAI also carry out inspections of registered PV solar installers work too.
The details of being an SEAI Approved Solar PV Company
There are 4 main aspects to becoming an SEAI registered company:
Solar specific training
There’s the special QQI domestic solar training requirement on top of the normal eletrician’s qualifications and certifications.
Standard Company diligence
The SEAI do some basic company checks. our taxes are all up to date, appropriate insurance is in place etc.
Code of Practice
We, like all registered companies, have signed up to the SEAI’s Code of Practice. There’s huge detail in here in everything from information included in our quotes to the safety stickers we put on the equipment. You can download the SEAI’s Domestic Solar PhotoVoltaic Code of Practice for Installers here.
The SEAI will inspect us from time to time, to make sure we are following through on everything we’ve promised to do in the code of practice.
Is this the same as RECI?
No. Any person / company doing any form of electrical work must be RECI certified (Register of Electrical Contractors Ireland). To be an SEAI registered PV solar panel installer it’s like RECI plus the solar specific bit on top. there’s extra we must do on top of general electricians.
Can I use a non-SEAI registered solar panel installer?
Yes. The only legal requirement is that the contractor you use is RECI certified, which is the same for any electrical work.
Do be aware that any work done by a non-registered installer will not be eligible for any grants, though.
Who are the SEAI?
The SEAI are the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
The SEAI are the government body whose aim is to reduce energy consumption and maximise the use of renewable energy here in Ireland.
They offer grants and support to individuals in a range of areas. solar, wind, insulation, electric cars, full deep retrofits and more.
Their remit covers all sectors those. individuals, businesses large and small, public sector, community projects and more.
If you are thinking about reducing your energy consumption and carbon footprint, at work or at home, then checking out the SEAI’s website is well worthwhile. They’ve a huge range of supports available.
