Solar installers in Omaha
Ten companies claim residential solar installation in the Omaha area on their own websites, and every one of them is listed below with what Nebraska's two public registers showed about it on a stated date. Six of the ten appear in the state's contractor registration register; the state's electrical credential register indexes people rather than firms, so it cannot confirm a company's licence at all — which is why the single most useful thing on this page is the question at the top of it. Nothing here is ranked and no one pays to appear.
How do I verify a solar installer in Omaha?
Ask the company one question before you sign anything: “Who is your Nebraska electrical contractor of record, and what is their licence number?” Then put that number into the State Electrical Division's public search and confirm it comes back as an active Electrical Contractor or Class A Master Electrician credential. That is the whole check, and it takes about a minute once the search loads. It matters because Nebraska licenses people rather than companies: the register cannot tell you whether “SunCo LLC” is licensed, only whether a named person is — so a company that cannot name its contractor of record has answered your question already. Separately, any contractor doing business in Nebraska must appear in the Department of Labor's contractor registration search, which does index companies and is the first column of the table below.

The companies
Listing here means one thing: the company claims residential solar installation serving this area on its own website, and we recorded what the public registers showed about it on the date stated. It is not a recommendation, a ranking, or a judgment about workmanship — no register answers those questions and neither do we.

What the registers showed
- Contractor registration (company-level): The Nebraska DOL contractor register returned no record under the names we searched (loess, loess hills solar).

What the law actually requires in Omaha
Three layers apply to a rooftop system inside the city, and each is a public document you can read yourself.
First, the state licence. Nebraska has no solar licence class — the State Electrical Division's categories run from apprentice to electrical contractor, and photovoltaic wiring falls under the general rule:
Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section or in section 81-2112 or 81-2144, no person shall, for another, wire for or install electrical wiring, apparatus, or equipment unless he or she is licensed by the board as a Class B electrical contractor, an electrical contractor, a Class A master electrician, or a fire alarm installer.
Note the Class B carve-out does not reach Omaha: a Class B electrical contractor licence is valid only in municipalities under one hundred thousand inhabitants (§ 81-2107(2)), and Omaha is several times that size — so the credential to verify here is the full Electrical Contractor or a Class A Master Electrician. Homeowners doing their own work on their own single-family principal residence are exempt from the licence requirement (§ 81-2121(5)), though Omaha still requires a homeowner's permit and inspections, and performing electrical work for another while falsely claiming a licence is a felony (§ 81-2143(1)(b)).
Second, the city registration. Omaha layers its own registration on top of the state licence rather than replacing it:
Any person performing electrical work within the jurisdictional limits of the city must first be registered with the city permits and inspections division. A copy of his/her current state license must be submitted with each registration.
The same article restricts electrical permits to registered electrical contractors and master electricians, ties each licence to one employer firm (with a 50-percent-ownership exception), and requires a $12,500 corporate surety bond before a certificate of registration issues (§§ 44-52, 44-62). So for work inside the city, the company pulling your permit is operating on a named person's state licence, registered with the city, with a bond behind it.
Third, the interconnection inspection. Nebraska's net metering statute — the one that gets your exports credited on the Nebraska page — makes a State Electrical Division inspection a precondition: a customer-generator must request the inspection and hand the utility documentation that it happened before interconnection (§ 70-2004(1)). A finished array that has not scheduled its inspection is not a working net metering arrangement, so ask your installer who schedules it and when.
Where to check for yourself
- Nebraska Department of Labor — Contractor Registration Search — indexes companies. The one register that indexes companies. Registration under the Contractor Registration Act is required of all contractors prior to doing business in Nebraska; it is a registration, not a licence, and says nothing about electrical qualification. Prints the registrant's name, registration number and expiration date. Checked Aug. 2026.
- Nebraska State Electrical Division — Electrical Licenses and Registrations Search — indexes individual credential holders. The licence register. Indexes individual credential holders — apprentice registrations, journeyman electricians, electrical contractors, Class A masters. A company name surfaces only incidentally, when a licensee's contact record happens to carry it. Launched April 2026, replacing the Division's old search; the old nebraska.gov/sed/search URL redirects to its portal. Slow to load, then searchable by credential number or name. Checked Aug. 2026.
- City of Omaha — license search (Accela Citizen Access) — indexes individual credential holders. Omaha Mun. Code § 44-53 requires anyone performing electrical work in the city to register with the permits and inspections division and submit a copy of their current state licence — so the city's records, like the state's licence register, attach to the licensed individuals rather than to firms. Searched August 4, 2026: company-name matches were sparse and could not be attributed with confidence, so no per-company city column is published; the search is linked as a reader tool. Checked Aug. 2026.
What changed in this market
The year before this page existed thinned this market considerably, which is worth knowing when a proposal cites an installer's national footprint. Nelnet Renewable Energy — the buyer of GRNE Solar, once a significant Nebraska installer — now tells its customers on its own site that it has been acquired by MARS Energy Group and that existing customers receive legacy warranty support. Blue Raven Solar's website now redirects to SunPower, whose service areas do not include Nebraska. Freedom Forever lists Nebraska under "Room to Grow" rather than as an active state, and ION Solar's active-state list excludes Nebraska. A warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it in the year you need it — which is an argument for asking every bidder the licence question above, and no argument at all for any particular company on this page.
What this page does not cover yet
- Completeness. Ten companies passed the bar for listing: a residential solar service claim on the company's own website, read on the date stated. Three more with apparent local presence could not be verified — one company's website would not resolve, one has no website of its own, and one's published site returns an error — and several national installers were checked and found to have left or never entered this market. A company's absence here means we could not verify it, nothing more.
- Whether any listed company holds any licence. The registers cannot show it for a company, and we do not conclude it. The table records what each search showed on the date it ran.
- Per-company City of Omaha registration results. The city's records attach to licensed individuals rather than firms, and the matches we found could not be attributed with confidence, so the city search is linked above as a tool rather than published as a column.
- Workmanship, pricing, production estimates and financing. No register answers these and this page does not either. Get multiple bids; the is-it-worth-it page lists the six inputs that decide the money.
- OPPD programs and trade-ally claims. Two companies describe themselves as utility trade allies on their own sites; we did not verify those claims with the utilities.
- The Iowa side. One listed company is based in Council Bluffs, and Iowa's licensing rules — which we have not read — govern its Iowa work.
Common questions
Is there a Nebraska solar installer licence?
No. Nebraska has no solar-specific licence class — the State Electrical Division's categories run from apprentice registration through journeyman, electrical contractor and Class A master electrician, and photovoltaic wiring falls under the general rule of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 81-2108: no person may wire for or install electrical wiring, apparatus or equipment for another unless licensed as an electrical contractor, Class A master electrician, or under the narrower classes. In Omaha the narrower Class B classes do not apply at all, because they are valid only in municipalities under 100,000 inhabitants. So the credential to ask about is the Electrical Contractor licence, and the person to ask about is the company's contractor of record — Nebraska licenses people, not companies.
How do I check whether an Omaha solar company is licensed?
You cannot look up the company directly, and that is the most important thing to know before you try. Nebraska's electrical credential register indexes individual licence holders, so a search on a company's name proves nothing in either direction. The check that works: ask the company for its Nebraska electrical contractor of record and that person's licence number, then confirm the number in the State Electrical Division's public search as an active Electrical Contractor or Class A Master Electrician credential. Separately, confirm the company itself appears in the Nebraska Department of Labor's contractor registration search, which does index companies and is required of every contractor doing business in the state.
Does being listed on this page mean a company is recommended?
No. Listing means exactly two things: the company claims residential solar installation serving the Omaha area on its own website, and we recorded what Nebraska's public registers showed about it on the date stated. The order is alphabetical, nothing is ranked, no one pays to appear, and a register result is not a judgment about workmanship, pricing or honesty. If that ever changes — if a listing is ever sponsored — it will say so on the listing.
Do solar installers need a City of Omaha registration too?
Yes, for work inside the city limits. Omaha Municipal Code § 44-53 requires anyone performing electrical work in the city to register with the permits and inspections division and to submit a copy of their current state licence with the registration; §§ 44-52 and 44-62 restrict electrical permits to registered electrical contractors and master electricians and require a $12,500 corporate surety bond before the certificate of registration issues. The city registration sits on top of the state licence rather than replacing it. Homeowners doing their own work have a separate permit path under § 44-122, with the panel and service work carved out for licensed electricians only.
What inspection does a solar system need before it can be turned on in Nebraska?
A State Electrical Division inspection, and it is written into the net metering statute itself: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 70-2004(1) requires the customer-generator to request an inspection and to provide documentation of the completed inspection to the utility before interconnection. Until that happens a finished array is not a working net metering arrangement. Ask your installer who schedules the inspection, when, and who provides the documentation to OPPD or your utility — it should be a routine part of their process, and hesitation on the question is informative.
