William, NABCEP writes no state laws, makes no regulations or policies. As such, the only “teeth” it has is to revoke or suspend the Certification of a bad actor. Some states have recognized the value of a NABCEP Certification and tied it to their solar incentive programs in some way, but not al

Friends: I tell any prospective employee that in order to become a solar electrician, one must first be a qualified electrician. I am convinced of this point. Being a solar electrician adds much complexity on top of the traditional trade. However, not all electricians are good electricians. The

Aloha All, Does anybody know the requirements for the C-46? I would assume if you could qualify for that ( C-46) you could also qualify for a C-10 (C-13 Hawaii). The full license gives one the ability to do anything, and this seems like the way to go for versatility. "If you can't beat'em...join th

Although the licence numbers are different here in Hawaii County, They have stopped accepting a C-60 (Solar Power Systems) all together about 2 years ago. They now only accept C-13 (Electrical Contractor) for any PV project, ESS or not. It was a hard pill to swallow, but ultimately it forced us to

I haven’t heard about this but I’ve been calling for it for decades. The C-46 started life as a solar thermal license. Still is. When PVs first hit the scene in the 80s, the CSLB, in it’s idiocy, decided that a solar panel was a solar panel and stuck it in that classification. To be fair, in tho
