Installer is a different job from seller
The company that sells you a system and the contractor who drills into your roof are often two different businesses. Both matter, and they fail in different ways. A sales problem gives you a bad agreement. An installation problem gives you a leak.
How to check an installer properly
License
Your state contractor licensing board has a public lookup. Search the installing contractor's legal name, not the brand on the truck. Confirm the license is current and covers electrical and roofing work as your state defines them.
Insurance
General liability and workers' compensation, in force, with certificates you can see. If a crew member is hurt on your roof and the contractor carries no comp coverage, that can become your problem.
Roof penetrations
Ask specifically what the workmanship warranty covers on penetrations and for how many years. Ask what flashing method is used. This is the most common long-term failure point in residential solar and the question that most reliably separates a careful installer from a fast one.
Who you call in year six
Get the answer in writing. Under a power purchase agreement the system owner carries maintenance for the term. Under a purchase, it is you, and your recourse runs through manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
How SolarAmerica works
We design the system and manage the project; a licensed partner contractor in your state performs the installation. You are told who they are before anything is scheduled. Ask us for the license number and check it yourself — we would rather you did.
The residential federal tax credit (25D) ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025.
You will still see ads promising a 30% credit that “ends December 31.” Read the date on them. If you buy a system today as a homeowner, you cannot claim that credit. What remains under 48E applies to the owner of the system — which, under a PPA, is us. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice; talk to your tax professional about your situation.
Who you would be working with
SolarAmerica
We design your system and manage the project; installation is performed by vetted licensed partners in your area. SolarAmerica is not itself the installing contractor.
Questions
The things people actually ask
How do I find a solar company near me?
Start with the ownership structure you want, then verify the installing contractor's license and insurance with your state board, then check what utility rate the savings comparison is built on. Proximity matters less than whether the installer knows your permitting office.
Does SolarAmerica cover my area?
Enter your ZIP in the checker on this page. It answers immediately and does not collect your details. We accept inquiries from 30 states, though coverage within a state depends on partner availability.
Are local solar installers better than national ones?
Neither, categorically. Local companies usually know the permitting and interconnection process better; national companies bring process and financing depth. Ask who is on the roof and who honors the workmanship warranty and the distinction matters less.
