We (the Government) have laws requiring licensing because when everyone is unlicensed the unscrupulous take over and you don't get the work you are expected and you have no recourse.
As for solar, they should make an exception where you receive training from the solar institute (in Hopland, California) or another training group.
By the way, if you are looking for a break on solar, you can sign up with a group based in San Francisco, and when there are enough people in your area expressing interest, they negotiate group discounts on solar. That's another way to make it more accessible.
