How to choose a solar installer in South Carolina

Check licensing & certification

Solar installs in South Carolina involve electrical work, so the contractor (or their electrician) needs the proper state license. Favor companies with NABCEP-certified staff, the industry's recognized credential, and confirm they carry liability insurance and a workmanship warranty, not just the manufacturer's panel warranty.

Get three quotes and compare price per watt

Quotes vary widely. Compare the total cash price divided by system size (dollars per watt) rather than the monthly financed payment, which can hide markups. Make sure each quote lists the same panel and inverter brands, the production estimate, and exactly what's included.

Confirm permits, interconnection & net metering

A reputable installer pulls the building/electrical permits and files the utility interconnection paperwork for you. Ask how net metering works with your local South Carolina utility: it determines how much credit you earn for excess power you send back to the grid, which drives your real savings.

What to know before hiring in South Carolina

The largest utilities serving South Carolina homes are Dominion Energy South Carolina (696,385 residential customers, 14.6¢/kWh), Duke Energy Carolinas (568,586 residential customers, 14.0¢/kWh) and South Carolina Public Service Authority (185,529 residential customers, 11.4¢/kWh). Your utility sets the rate your solar production offsets, and it is also who an installer files interconnection or service paperwork with, so name it when you ask for quotes.

Check the license before you sign

Electrical contractors in South Carolina are licensed by the South Carolina Contractor's Licensing Board (LLR). Electrical contractors are licensed as Mechanical Contractors with the Electrical (EL) classification.

Frequently asked questions

Get at least three written quotes, confirm the company holds the licenses South Carolina requires for electrical and solar work, check that they pull permits and handle the utility interconnection, and look for NABCEP-certified installers. Compare total price per watt, the equipment brands offered, and the workmanship warranty, not just the monthly payment.
