How we rank solar installers in Durham
Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the solar installers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.
What to look for when hiring a solar installer in Durham
- Ask for the North Carolina electrical contractor license. In North Carolina, solar installers need it from the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. Verify it at the official North Carolina license lookup before signing. North Carolina treats residential solar installation as electrical work that needs a licensed electrical contractor at any project value.
- Written estimates. Any solar installer who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
- Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
- Local references. A solar installer who's done work in American Tobacco Historic District or American Village will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
