The Arizona Registrar of Contractors does not have any specific solar license, but  considers this to fall under the C11/L11 general electrical license.  There is a special solar only domestic hot water license. 

However, It is possible to get a special negotiated "SOLAR ELECTRIC INSTALLATIONS ONLY" license, C05, that has reduced technical testing (and all the normal general contracting law testing).  Such a license allows installation of all of the PV system and connection to the nearest appropriate electrical panel.  A minimal bond is required.

I some ways it is better than a straight electrical license.  For instance, one can subcontract required trades for an installation such as landscaping that technically speaking, an electrician can not do unless he/she also has
a general contracting license.
