Larry, I was glad to read your post. It tells me that the effort to establish NABCEP is proving to be worthwhile. If NABCEP didn't matter, you wouldn't have written, as it wouldn't have affected you. You have been doing RE work (likely with great skill from the

Wrenches, Saying NABCEP is Union based is a little bit of a stretch it seems to me. I think having a way to ensure most new installers have had training and understand concepts involved is a good thing. The lack of an apprenticeship program or state sponsored license leaves a hole and NABCEP

Hello Wrenches, NABCEP has a full page ad in Home Power magazine that tells potential PV buyers to "Insist on a NABCEP Certified Installer". That's a great ad if you are certified but not so good if you are not. I know many of you are but lots of us are not yet certified. NABCEP is doing a gr
