SunService Certified™

Every SunService company runs on certified people

To use the platform, every company and every employee must pass the SunService certification for their role. It's how we guarantee the teams serving homeowners are genuinely top-tier — and how we give those teams a real career to grow into.

Why We Require It

Certification that cuts both ways

It protects homeowners and it builds the people doing the work.

🏅

Top-tier teams, guaranteed

No one touches a homeowner's system without proving they know the work. Certification is built into onboarding — the platform unlocks role functions only after the cert is passed.

💛
