              The 10-hour OSHA course is not (currently) a requirement </span>for
            NABCEP's PV Installer certification. However, the NABCEP PV
            Technical Sales certification does require the 10 hour OSHA
            course as part of the application requirements.<br>
            <br>
            The UL Certified PV System Installer application requires
            proof of having attended the OSHA "30 Hour For Construction"
            safety training course.<br>
            <br>
            The requirement for the 10-hour OSHA course for solar PV
            installers could be a state licensing requirement,

              <br>
              I just received an email from a company offering OSHA
              training for solar installers. A good idea, but they
              claimed you need a 10 hr certification just to work as a
              solar installer. I have never heard of this, so did I
              install a couple of hundred systems illegally? <br>
              <br>
              Here's a quote from the email: "Photovoltaic work includes
              working at heights and with electricity. Due to the nature
              of the work, a minimum of an OSHA 10-Hr certification is
              required to be employed in the field of photovoltaics. " <br>
              <br>
              This is either: <br>
              A) a scam trying to scare me into signing up for their
              class <br>
              B) a new requirement I wasn't aware of <br>
              C) a long standing requirement not being enforced <br>
              <br>
              Fill me in oh wise ones, <br>
