What “solar-named” and “verified” mean

A business is “solar-named” if its name includes “solar”, “photovolt…” or “PV”. That is the only test. We have not read any listed company’s website and don’t know what work it does. 132 businesses match (8 hold both an electrical permit and a home improvement registration under the same name and ZIP or city; they are shown once).

“License verified with NJ DCA on Oct 31, 2026” means the license number and Active status appear in the DCA public roster we downloaded that day. It is not an endorsement. DCA itself says registration “does not constitute an endorsement of or approval for the home improvement contractor.”^[1] Confirm any record at the NJ DCA License Verification before you hire.

Home improvement registration is not the same as an electrical permit. DCA says if an electrician is doing the work, the municipal permit must be signed and sealed by the NJ licensed electrical contractor.^[1] We mark registration-only listings.

What we don’t show

We don’t show listed companies’ emails or phone numbers. Home improvement registrants whose name doesn’t include “solar” (43,561 records) are not listed. Electrical contractor businesses without “solar” in the name (4,979) appear in a collapsed list on each county page, labeled as not checked for solar work.

Data limits

DCA records can have an incorrect or missing county. 0 solar-named and 1 other electrical records have no recognizable county and are on a separate page. Expiry dates are as shown on the roster. DCA’s home improvement page (last modified 3/18/2026) said all registrations then expired on March 31, 2026 and urged renewal.^[2] The roster we downloaded shows later expiry dates on active records.
