Vermont is usually the first of last state to do anything, basically due to our legislature being comprised of old ex hippies or old ex farmers
We signed onto the Green machine like it was custom made for the Green Mountain state , when the rebates came along every out of work putz threw a shingle up, lettered their PU trucks, and went about foisting their
save the planet installs upon the public
They didn't need a license, few were NABCEP certified, and even if they were.... to say 'article 690' to them was about as good as saying 'Rt 91' .....
Even the insurance cabal was slow on the uptake, being some of their rooftop installs held little consideration for damages via weight (iirc, our snow load is like 60lbs a sq ft) and/or penetrations
And so the state, in their infinite wisdom of things 'market' bred an entire new trade of hacks, who of course took every opportunity to make a $$$ due to the holes legislated for them
But us EC's are always last on the call list with the 'ol....'just hook it all in' line....
