New star rating reports were emailed to all participating solar trade allies based on your participation from May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Star ratings are re-evaluated quarterly based on applications submitted and installations completed over the past 12 months.

Here are some highlights from this rating period:

• A total of 113 solar trade ally contractors were enrolled in the Energy Trust Trade Ally Network. Of those, 71 solar trade allies submitted applications or completed projects during the current rating period, qualifying them to receive a star rating—four more than the previous rating period.
• In this rating period, 38 solar trade ally contractors (more than half rated during this period) have a star rating of two-and-a-half or three stars—one fewer than the previous rating period.
• The most common corrections issued were for missing System Labels (2.3.16) and missing Customer Manuals (3.0.1)

The next rating period ends July 31, 2017. For complete details on how the star rating is determined, see the Solar Trade Ally Rating System document.
