Hi everyone,
<div><br>
I think that Bill has summed it up very well. Stamps on plans
generally imply the review of a duly recognized engineer. NABCEP
Certification is not an equivalency to being a PE.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I must say that I am pleased to hear the jurisdiction
recognizes the professional accomplishment that comes with
attaining NABCEP PV Installer Certification. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the type of situation described I would recommend attaching
a business card that includes the NABCEP Certified Installer logo,
the installers name and certification number.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes for a safe workplace.</div>
<div><br>

color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">While I can’t speak for NABCEP,
I would expect that NABCEP should be very opposed to this
type of use of their logo. NABCEP does not certify the
work that a NABCEP certificant does. They only certify
that the installer has met the obligations for
certification. There is a HUGE difference between the two.
NABCEP cannot, and should not, be held accountable for
work that someone does in the field. A contactor’s work is
covered by the state laws and the licenses required to
perform that work in that state. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";
color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Just because a local
jurisdictions thinks that getting a certification from
NABCEP means something to the installation, does not mean
that the information should be on the plan set.
Information about the certification of the installer
should be provided separately. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
