<p>Instead of "ratting them out", why not just invite an inspector
to look at that work, and decide for themselves. If they didn't
pull permits, they're in trouble, and if they did and passed, the
whole system is in trouble.</p>
<p>Personally, I'm getting very tired of substandard work in the
solar field. In the 90s, folks didn't know any better, and
equipment availability was tough too. In 2020, there is no
excuse, and these guys are dragging the entire industry and our
collective reputation down. They've got to get with the program
and do good work, or stay out of the business. Period. Its no
longer something we can continue to tolerate. I used to clean up
other peoples' messes, but I'm tired of it.<br>
</p>
<p>Just because I hold an electrical contractor license doesn't mean
I can go wire a hospital operating room or X-ray machine. You
specialize, and do the best you can to understand and stay on top
of your chosen specialty. People on this list generally all want
to learn more, avoid mistakes, and improve our designs and
workmanship. It takes a lot of extra time and effort to be good
at what we do. We can't allow idiots that don't even bother, make
us all look bad. <br>

have any thoughts on turning in a fellow licensed
contractor for egregious violations of code and
workmanship practices? I ran across one this weekend that
should definitely not own a ladder or even a screwdriver.
I'm compelled to turn him into the state, but I don't
really want to be "that guy." I'm encouraging the
homeowner to do something about it, but the process is
rather difficult.</div>
