Hello, I am very interested in becoming a Solar/PV installer in New Mexico. I have done a lot of research and am having trouble finding specific requirements in the state. I read that "New Mexico has no specific licensing requirements for those wishing to install solar power systems except that solar power installations must be performed by accredited electrical contractors licensed in New Mexico." I am not a liscened contractor, and was wondering if it is a requirement, even though I intend to apprentice with a company, and am not interested in solo contracting work? I have found accredited courses to pursue the NABCEP Associate Installer Credential and full NABCEP Certification in time. However I do not yet want to invest the time and money in these courses if I must first obtain an electrical contracting liscense. Can anyone here provide me with some clarification and direction on getting into the PV trade in New Mexico?
