The
NABCEP has certified nine New York solar installers with a PV practitioner
license, the first license of its kind. There are only a total of 64
people in the United States that have this license, which requires adhering
to strict standards, and completing a rigorous voluntary examination
and certification process. The program is intended to provide customers
and power companies with a high standard of safe solar energy. These
NY solar installers are at the top of a budding new market.
These highly trained New York solar installers will set the standards
for safe and reliable solar power. The solar market is growing so fast
that often regular electrician’s end up being the most qualified
installers for solar panels. Most standards in the past were set by
the manufacturers of each solar panel, and varied from model to model.
Having a certification course and national standards for solar panel
use and installation will ensure that photovoltaic panels will retain
their reputation for being safe and efficient. NY solar installers are
expert roof panel designers as well.
New York solar installers are trained to find the best places for solar
panels, and are excellent at complex roof installations. Many urban
areas in New York require highly customized solar panel holders due
to shadows caused by buildings or limited exposure. In some cases solar
panels are mounted on the side of a building instead of a roof for greater
exposure. These systems require a high standard of safety only a certified
installer can perform. They also require specific calibration to harness
more energy at certain times.
