In response to this action, the business provided the following statement: "We no longer do installations and are in total compliance with DOPL during our appeal process with them. Instead, we are just selling and working with other solar contractors (EPC companies "Engineering, Procurement and Construction) to perform the installation. Selling, which we are exclusive doing right now, doesn't require a license with DOPL."
