Ask About Start Your Own Solar Company

This is the one programme where we would rather talk first, and not for sales reasons. The right answer depends on whether you already hold a trade certificate, whether anybody in the business can cover the electrical scope, and whether you can specify a system yet — and for some people the honest recommendation is to do a technical course first and come back.

What it covers

Six sessions: licensing and structure, insurance, the ESA filing path, quoting against consumption rather than roof area, net metering applications, supplier accounts and credit, and finding and responding to public procurement opportunities. The full outline → and the setup checklist →

What to tell us

Four things make our answer useful rather than generic:

Where you are — province, because the filing path is provincial.
Whether anyone in the business holds a trade certificate or an electrical contractor licence. This single fact changes more than anything else.
Whether you are already trading in something adjacent — an electrical contractor adding PV is in a different position from a standing start.
What you want the business to do — residential, commercial, or chasing institutional tenders. They need different setups.

What we will say if it applies

That you should do the technical course first. Selling systems you cannot specify ends with a customer who was promised something undeliverable, and in a market this size that follows you. We say it often enough that it is worth saying here, before you ask.

Use the main enquiry form

Rather than keep two forms in step, the enquiry form handles this — select Start Your Own Solar Company and put the four things above in the notes. You get a reference number on screen straight away and we reply properly rather than with a brochure.

What will not happen

No sales sequence, no call every Tuesday, no countdown timer on a price. If you ask a question you get an answer to that question. If you ask us to stop contacting you, we stop the first time.

Common questions

Is there a price on the site?

Not for this programme, because what it covers varies with where you are and what you already hold. Ask and we will quote you properly rather than publish a figure that fits nobody.

Why no instant booking?

Because for a meaningful share of enquiries the right answer is a technical course first, and we would rather say that before you pay.

Do I need a credential before the programme?

Not formally. In practice, being able to specify what you sell matters more than anything in the business content.

Will you contact me repeatedly?

No. You get an answer to the question you asked.
