Solarize for Contractors

 

NYSERDA prequalifies solar electric contractors to participate in Solarize campaigns. Solarize campaigns are locally organized community outreach efforts aimed at getting a group of homes and businesses in one area to adopt solar. Solarize campaigns select a solar installer to serve the campaign’s solar customers. NYSERDA provides Solarize campaigns with a list of prequalified solar electric contractors.

Solarize contractors are responsible for such roles as:

  • Play active role in select Solarize events
  • Manage leads
  • Perform site assessments
  • Provide general customer service
  • Provide Solarize Team with relevant data
  • Contract and install solar electric systems, including managing all local permits and the interconnection process
