The Solar Quality Initiative is an industry-driven effort to implement standards for solar System Installation and Operations and Maintenance. These best practice protocols will serve to standardize quality across this rapidly growing industry to increase financing and ensure the long-term growth of the market.

This initiative is in the process of developing the Solar Quality Credential ​for solar providers who have the internal management systems and processes in place to comply with best practice requirements. Companies demonstrate compliance by providing necessary supporting documentation, which will be reviewed and approved by an independent third-party and will be able to communicate that to their customers and financial backers through use of the Solar Quality Credential designation.
