Common Provisions

1. Independent Contractor Status

A key function of the agreement is that it defines the subcontractor’s standing as an independent worker, not an employee of the contractor. As an independent contractor, they are responsible for their own insurance, taxes, and how the job gets carried out.

2. Services

The tasks that the subcontractor is hired to perform must be described in the agreement, which might include:

  • Site assessment and schematics.
  • Measuring, cutting, and assembling structural framing and solar modules.
  • Connecting PV panels to (and possibly making improvements on) electrical systems.
  • Performing maintenance checks.

3. Responsibilities

The parties must decide who will provide materials, equipment, transportation, labor (i.e., workers under the subcontractor), and anything else the subcontractor needs to perform their duties.

4. Compensation

The contractor and subcontractor must negotiate and record the amount of money the subcontractor will receive for their services (typically a fixed fee or hourly rate) and the payment schedule.

5. Termination

The parties must establish who can terminate the contract early and how much notice is required to do so.
