Does Connecticut require contractor licensing for renewable energy installations?
Connecticut statutes stipulate that an E-1 Electrical Contractor license or an E-2 Journeyperson license is required for work performed on photovoltaic or wind generation systems. Although statutes do not specifically cite wind or photovoltaic systems in the definitions, the technologies are eligible under the definition of `Electrical work.`
Three types of solar licenses are available for work performed on an active, passive or hybrid solar hot water heating system -- a solar contractor`s license, a solar journeyman`s license, and a solar apprentice`s permit. See http://www.dcp.state.ct.us/ licensing/occprotrades.htm for more details.
