NABCEP Call for comments [RE-wrenches] -- California Focus

[Bob Ellison, Alternative Energy Systems]

I don't know about the rest of you but where I live in New York State there
is no electrical license needed or available, some cities do require a
plumbers license, go figure.....

I agree... If we have a platform for RE installers to first being licensed
electricians (no general contractors licenses either), and then maybe throw
a PV
certification on top of it that will go a long way at reducing the potential
for
bad installations. If licensed people are doing the installations at least
we
won't have fire hazards out there.

If we also have knowledgeable inspectors that will help stop the
"do-it-yourselfers" from putting in bad systems. Although  I find it
difficult
to believe that most inspectors will be able to sufficiently come up to
speed on
how to optimize systems, if they work reasonably well and are safe that
would be
a HUGE plus, and probably enough to get by.
