NABCEP liability (Wrenches) [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Bill,

License. Certificate. Call it what you will. CalSEIA opposes any State
requirement that PV contractors must be certified by NABCEP or any certification
body. The CEC programs are mandated by State law and calling the CEC "misguided"
and CalSEIA "wrong" sounds like political rhetoric.

Some wrenches recall the first discussions about the PV buydown rebate program.
Everyone was concerned that bad PV systems would hurt consumers and the industry
kill the rebate. I remember listening over and over about how Republicans used
bad solar water heaters installed by fly-by-night companies as reasons to kill
the 40% federal tax credit that, by the way, Democrats enacted. In the end, we
all decided that educating consumers, inspectors and installers was the right
thing to do. I think we all still agree that education is the right thing to do.
