Qualifier Services
In most states a company cannot operate without a contractor license. To obtain a contractor’s license, the company must employ one individual to serve as a qualifying agent for their company. At SolShine Electric we provide this service to select companies for either long term or temporary placement.

Licensed Qualifier Services for Electrical Contractors
SolShine Electric offers licensed qualifier services for companies needing electrical contractor representation in states where they are not currently licensed. Whether you're preparing to bid on a project, entering a new market, or temporarily lacking a licensed professional in-house, we can help you operate legally and compliantly.
What Is a Qualifier?
A qualifier is a licensed individual who meets state-specific experience and exam requirements and is legally recognized by the state’s contractor board. This person allows your business to obtain an electrical contractor license and pull permits.
SolShine Electric is led by a licensed electrician who holds active contractor licenses in:
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Missouri, and Arkansas.
In many states, your company cannot legally operate or pull permits without a qualifier. That’s where SolShine Electric comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a qualifier, and why do I need one?
A qualifier is a licensed individual who meets the state-specific experience and testing requirements to legally represent an electrical contracting business. If your business operates in states like Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Missouri, or Arkansas, you may be required to have a licensed qualifier on record to pull permits or maintain compliance.
At SolShine Electric, our qualifier is already licensed across these states, allowing us to support your business legally and efficiently.
How does SolShine Electric help with qualifier representation?
As a licensed professional, SolShine Electric partners directly with select businesses to serve as their electrical qualifier. We focus on building long-term, compliant relationships with companies that need representation in one or more of the states where we're licensed.
We also handle the paperwork and coordinate with state licensing boards to ensure you're covered from day one.
How long does the process take?
Most partnerships can be established within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the state and how quickly we receive the required information from your team.
We’ll help you navigate state-specific forms, business registrations, and qualifier documentation to avoid delays.
Is the representation permanent?
That depends on your business needs. We offer both ongoing and transitional qualifier support. Whether you're launching in a new state or need a temporary solution while securing your own license, we’ll work with you to set clear expectations and maintain full compliance.
Can you help if I already have someone in mind for the qualifier role?
If you're planning to use your own employee or partner as the qualifier but need help getting through the paperwork and state licensing steps, we’re probably not the right fit. SolShine Electric only offers direct licensing support where our principal is the designated qualifier.
What are the risks of not working with a properly licensed qualifier?
Attempting to operate without a licensed qualifier—or filing incorrect paperwork—can lead to fines, delays, or even license denial or revocation. By working with SolShine Electric, you benefit from our multi-state licensing experience and professional oversight to keep your business running legally and smoothly.
