Consumer Alert: Protect Yourself from Unlicensed Solar Contractors

We’re seeing an increase in solar companies operating without proper licensing or registration with the local jurisdiction and utility companies. These contractors may offer deals that seem too good to be true—and often are.


Before signing anything, take a few simple steps to protect your home and your investment:

  • Check Licensing & Insurance – A legitimate installer will gladly provide proof.
  • Look Up Reviews & References – Don’t rely on sales pitches alone.
  • Avoid High-Pressure Sales Tactics – Reputable companies give you time to decide.
  • Get Everything in Writing – Contracts should clearly outline costs, timelines, and warranties.

Your solar system is a long-term investment—make sure you’re working with a company you can trust.


If something feels off, it probably is. Stay informed. Stay protected.
