I would think that you should be able to find a licenced electrician that would be willing to work with you. The inverter and line voltage side of the system ar the focus of the licensed install- you can't connect to the grid without a permit, and most jurisdictions only issue permits to licensed electricians. Installing mounting rails and carrying panels up a ladder is usually a labourer's job, even the low voltage connections on the panels can be done by a non licensed labourer.
If you can find an "enthusiast" organization locally, you'll likely find a willing contractor. We have such a group here, Simcoe Huronia Alternative Renewable Energy, SHARE, and it is comprised mostly of curious electricians and hobbyists, and features regular presentations by vendors, government agencies, utilities, and owners of succesful installations.
One of the neat things about doing an install on on a brand new building is that you can install your racking or rails as you apply your roofing material, ensuring a good seal at your fasteners, and your conduit and/or cables can also be routed and sealed easier.
