Ask for the license
Request the license that covers solar work, and confirm it is current.
Licensing guarantee
Know who is working on your solar system
Solar panels are electrical equipment on your roof, and the person handling them should be properly licensed. Here's what to ask and what we promise.
The one question to ask
What license covers the solar work you are performing?
Roofers are skilled at roofs, but disconnecting, removing and reconnecting solar panels is electrical work. A roofing license usually doesn't cover it.
Ask every contractor this question before you sign, and ask to see the answer in writing. A confident, licensed contractor won't mind.
Our promise
Our licensed contractor guarantee
When you hire Harborlight Solar for panel removal and reinstall, these are the commitments we make in your written quote. They are demo promises for this sample site.

We'd rather you ask too many questions than too few.
Your checklist
Before anyone touches your system

Check the permits
Ask who pulls permits and who books the inspection afterwards.
Get the warranty in writing
Make sure reinstall workmanship is covered, with the terms spelled out.
Agree where panels are stored
Ask how your panels will be protected while the roof is replaced.
Plan the timeline
Agree when panels come down, when the roofers finish and when you're back online.
