Solar Installation Certification

[Nature Power Systems, LLC]

Hello everyone,

A quick question, what would be considered the must have certification for
solar panel installations? I am looking at getting into the solar
technology industry and need to know which route to take when it comes to
certification and be "recognized" by such certification as having met the
skills necessary to do solar installations.

Thanks for the input.

I would look into NABCEP : North American Board of Certified Energy
Practitioners certification. See http://www.nabcep.org/

The real "must-have" would be a master electrician's ticket. Various PV
cliques have come up with their own schemes to produce revenue and
maintain their cliques/exclude people who have not paid them extra, but
that would be the one that you _really_ need to do electrical work other
than for yourself, as best I understand it.

Fortunately, my system is in a state where one can do one's own work on
one's own system, not that the cliques in question are not trying to
foil that (to "protect the public" or "line their pockets", depending on
how one sees it). They have successfully hijacked all systems which get
the limited state benefit into their own overpriced clutches, for
instance. They are so overpriced this ends up not mattering to me, from
what I have found so far (I save far more than the cost of not getting
the credit by ignoring them as a source for anything, after having
wasted my time by trying in good faith to spend money locally, if
possible, and being treated with laughable rudeness and attitude).
