[RE-wrenches] State licensing for PV installers in Texas

Is the regular license in AZ an electrical license? For licensed
electricians in the TX, no addition certification is required to install
solar. 

The challenge we face is that most solar electric installers in the state do
not have an electrical license. In fact, it¹s not so long ago that there was
no state licensing period. Licensing was all done at the local level, at the
city level.
