How We Vet Solar Installers
Quality and trust matter. Learn about our rigorous installer verification process to ensure you work with qualified, reliable solar professionals.
Our Vetting Process
Every solar installer on our platform goes through a multi-step verification process. We verify credentials, check insurance coverage, review past work, and monitor ongoing customer satisfaction. This ensures homeowners connect with qualified professionals who deliver quality installations.
1. Licensing & Certification Verification
We verify that every installer holds the required provincial and municipal licences for solar panel installation. This includes:
- Provincial electrical contractor licence
- CANSIA (Canadian Solar Industries Association) membership where applicable
- ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) certification for Ontario installers
- Municipal business licence in their operating areas
2. Insurance & Liability Coverage
We require proof of comprehensive insurance coverage to protect homeowners:
- General liability insurance (minimum $2 million)
- Workers' compensation coverage (WSIB in Ontario)
- Professional liability / errors & omissions insurance
- Annual verification of active insurance status
3. Warranty & Workmanship Standards
We verify that installers offer comprehensive warranty coverage:
- Minimum 10-year workmanship warranty on installation
- Pass-through of manufacturer equipment warranties (25+ years for panels)
- Clear warranty documentation provided to customers
- Warranty claims process and response time commitments
4. Customer Review Verification
We monitor ongoing customer satisfaction through multiple channels:
- Verified customer reviews from completed installations
- Third-party review monitoring (Google, BBB)
- Complaint resolution tracking and follow-up
- Minimum customer satisfaction rating requirements
