The Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) created a Solar Licensing 
Database as a resource for policy makers, practitioners, consumers, and 
anyone else looking for solar licensing information in the U.S.  The 
state-by-state information offers a handy comparison for reviewing the 
different approaches across state lines, and identifies various practices 
for regulating the solar installation industry.

In the database, licensing requirements for installing photovoltaic and 
solar thermal systems are documented for each state. Today, only 14 states 
have established specific solar license classifications, usually 
sub-classifications of electrical or plumbing licenses, and often 
specifically defined to limit the scope of work to direct solar 
installations and maintenance tasks.
