Practical preppers installer network

We supply professional installers nationwide with complete solar + storage system packages at installer pricing. Each system is designed with carefully selected, field-tested equipment and backed by the experience of Scott Hunt (Engineer775).

At Practical Preppers®, we pre-screen installers to ensure they meet high standards of professionalism and workmanship.

To qualify, an installer must:

Be licensed and insured 

Have at least two years of solar installation experience

Demonstrate a strong reputation for quality installations and customer service

When homeowners outside our service area reach out, we can confidently connect them with trusted professionals who uphold the same standards we do.

⚠️ Practical Preppers® does not hold licenses in every state — you must be licensed to install in your jurisdiction

Support

We provide system drawings prepared specific to your project, informed by years of nationwide consulting and real-world installations. A PE stamp is available if required, and structural calculations can be added when needed by your AHJ.
We source proven equipment: panels, inverters, batteries, racking, and system components  bundled and shipped together, ready for install.
We back you up with technical guidance, commissioning assistance, and permitting support when needed — so paperwork and approvals don’t slow your project down.
