A "rooftop solar heating installation contractor" is a specialty contractor whose contracting business consists of the execution of contracts requiring the skill, knowledge, ability and experience to size, install, alter, repair, maintain, relocate, replace, or use residential domestic potable solar water heating systems to include solar heating panels and all appurtenances, apparatus or equipment used in connection therewith. The scope of work of such contractor is limited to solar domestic hot water systems for one-family, two-family, or three-family residences, not exceeding two stories in height and solar swimming pool heaters for residential swimming pools. Such contractor may tie into the existing pool pump or other equipment, but may not install, alter, repair, maintain, relocate, or replace any pool equipment, including but not limited to the pool pump. The residential solar water heating contractor must subcontract any work for which a local certificate of competency is required unless such contractor is state certified in the respective trade category or is licensed in such category by the appropriate local authority.
