How do I check a solar contractor's license in Arizona?
Search the solar contractor's license number, business name, or personal name at Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) (roc.az.gov). Status must be Active. Look for the C-11 Electrical / KB-1 Solar / C-39R Solar class. A free public-records check on Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) cross-references this with court records, OSHA, and BBB.
To verify a solar contractor in Arizona, search the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) database. The lookup tool is at https://roc.az.gov/. Arizona requires this license required for any solar work over $1,000.
What to enter: the contractor's license number is the fastest path. Most state boards also let you search by business name or personal name. Confirm the license shows the C-11 Electrical / KB-1 Solar / C-39R Solar class — that's the specific classification authorizing installs photovoltaic systems, solar thermal systems, battery storage, and related electrical interconnection on residential and commercial buildings.
What to look for: status must be "Active." Status of "Inactive," "Suspended," "Expired," or "Revoked" is a hard stop. Check the bond amount (most boards require contractor bonds), expiration date (renewals lapse if a contractor falls behind on continuing education), and any open complaints or disciplinary actions in the public record.
What the lookup does NOT show: liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage are typically separate from the state license database. Ask the solar contractor for current Certificates of Insurance and verify directly with the insurer.
What Groundcheck adds: a solar contractor can be currently licensed and still have unresolved court judgments, OSHA citations, or BBB complaints. Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) cross-references the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) record with Secretary of State filings, public court records, federal OSHA inspection history, and BBB complaint history into one sourced report. The contractor is never notified.
