regular license in AZ an electrical license? For licensed electricians in the
TX, no addition certification is required to install solar. <BR><BR>The
challenge we face is that most solar electric installers in the state do not
have an electrical license. In fact, it’s not so long ago that there was no
state licensing period. Licensing was all done at the local level, at the city
level. <BR><BR><BR>On 10/29/08 5:53 PM, "Wind-sun.com"
