NABCEP liability (Wrenches) [RE-wrenches]

Joel,

So then why is so little education happening. Education is only one of
several needed efforts and in no way lessons the need for a competency
metric for installers.

I calls 'em like I sees 'em. Call "misguided" and "wrong" political rhetoric
all you want--it's the truth.

Bill.

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.
