Pennsylvania does not require a statewide solar contractor license — verification leans on entity registration, court records, OSHA citation history, and BBB complaints. Plus any local municipal licensing in your city. Groundcheck cross-checks all of these.
Pennsylvania does not license electricians or solar contractors at the state level. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other cities issue local electrical licenses; HIC registration applies to residential solar installation.
