Contractors Network: Requirements to Join

We will not recommend specific contractors or installers or equipment. We provide consumer guidelines for selecting a contractor, and provide contractors with sales leads. There is no cost for a basic listing on the RELI Web site. Contractors will be listed according to NABCEP certification and the number of grid connected systems installed.

Any appropriately-licensed contractor can be listed on our site, however, a contractor's business must meet the following additional criteria to be listed as a Pre-Screened RELI professional:

• Your business has been in operation at least 3 years, or you have equivalent professional experience - for example, if you operated as a "sole proprietorship" for more than 3 years, but registered your company with the IRS and/or state less than three years ago.
• Good professional and customer references: Your firm has to provide a minimum of three (3) customer references, and those references must result in a minimum of an AVERAGE ("OK") overall rating (2 is considered average on a rating scale from 1 to 4). At least two of the customer referrals must be from your most recent work completed, prior to being listed on our site. Customer references must include the customer's name and email address as we do not make phone calls. All customer information is kept in accordance to our Privacy Policy.
• No unfavorable legal decisions against your company: The firm has not lost any significant legal actions or liens filed against the owner or the business by customers or other home improvement professionals, including subcontractors and materials suppliers, in the past five years.
• Appropriate licensing required for the County(ies) served on Long Island.
• Clear record with your creditors.
• Have not filed bankruptcy in the past 7 years.
• Have General Liability Insurance.

By signing the Contractor Application you certify that this information is true and correct. We reserve the right to verify your information using any means available to us.

Please note that contractors with NABCEP certification will be listed first on the website according to the number of grid connected systems installed. Contractors without NABCEP certification will be listed by number of grid connected systems installed.
