Notice: The California Energy Commission provides this list of Installers, Contractors, and Retailers of solar photovoltaic, small wind, and fuel cell systems for information purposes only and does not endorse any of the listed sellers. The list is based on a company's business address, and the ZIP Code distance, City, or Area Code may not indicate the entire geographic area served by a company.

This database is maintained for BOTH the Public Utilities Commission's California Solar Initiative and the Energy Commission's News Solar Homes Partnership Program.

Note: Other lists of installers, contractors, and retailers in California may be available on other websites, but we cannot guarantee that those lists contained all those registered with the Energy Commission.


Consumers...

For information on what you should know before you hire a contractor, the California Contractors State License Board offers the following tips:

  • Don't pay more than 10 percent or $1,000, whichever is less, as a down payment.

  • Hire only licensed contractors and ask to see their license.

  • Don't hire the first contractor who comes along.

  • Don't rush into repairs, no matter how badly they're needed.

  • Verify the contractor's license at the Contractors State License Board www.cslb.ca.gov or 1-800-321-2752.

  • Don't pay cash, and don't let the payments get ahead of the work.

  • Get three bids, check references, and get a written contract.
