There are three licenses and or certifications that every company should have at a minimum.
- A S200/ S202 electrical license
- NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) certification or equivalent.
Sales certificate for their sales team NABCEP
Engineering certificate NABCEP
Installation certificate NABCEP
- The Licensed and certified individuals should be doing the installation. No part of the install should be done by unlicensed unsupervised individuals.
In order to install a solar array that is going to perform as expected it needs to start with the design. The engineer that designs the system should have additional training as well. NABCEP
The performance of the system short and long term starts with the design.
There are many downloadable designs on the internet, but they may be boilerplate/generic and don’t meet the design standards for installation in Utah. The system should be designed for Utah specifically.
