NABCEP Certification!

We are thrilled to announce that A1A Solar Contracting, Inc. has received NABCEP Company Accreditation® as of December 9, 2022! We are very proud to be one of seven companies nationwide and one of only three companies in Florida to receive the company accreditation.

NABCEP Company Accreditation is the most prestigious accolade that a PV installation company can earn in the renewable energy industry. NABCEP’s Company Accreditation program provides a way for residential renewable energy installation companies to distinguish themselves by adhering to a set of industry-recognized best practices. Companies who qualify for accreditation meet all NABCEP requirements (an established set of benchmark requirements concerning staffing and policies) and pass a minimum of three randomly selected inspections of completed installations. We would like to give a shout-out to Pietro Ignacio, our O&M, QA, and Service Manager, for taking the lead on this effort and his painstaking work to gather all the appropriate documentation required for the accreditation.

For solar customers, buying from a NABCEP Accredited Residential PV Installation Company ensures that your provider is committed to

  • high-quality installation standards.
  • hiring fully trained and qualified staff.
  • safe work practices.
  • accountability to the customer.

A1A Solar is pleased to be among the few who have achieved this accreditation. We strive to uphold these standards every day and are continuously improving our processes to achieve superior customer service and quality installations. We welcome an opportunity to work with you on your solar PV and energy storage needs. Call us today!

The stability of A1A Solar to ride through difficult times does have more rewards beyond just staying in business, especially when we learned that Solar Power World’s National “2022 Top Solar Contractors” Rankings were recently announced, and A1A Solar Contracting was included!

We are ranked (in the residential category):

This survey only ranks installation volume and does not evaluate installation quality or customer satisfaction. For the record, A1A Solar ONLY focuses on doing high-quality solar and storage installations in the North Florida/Southeast Georgia markets with superior customer service.
