New York has since changed its rules slightly. You no longer have to be a NABCEP certified PV installer to offer the NYSERDA rebates. An installer has to install at least 3 grid tied PV systems to offer the NYSERDA rebates. Of course, no customer wants to buy a PV system without the NYSERDA rebate, so it is almost the same thing. I think the concept of NABCEP is a good one and needed. I also think NY state has some issues with their regulatory process in the renewable energy field. Steve, I agree with you.

The course I took was excellent and the Instructor was very experienced, but I wonder about the NABCEP power of influence over government rebate programs. What makes NABCEP the only certification agency acceptable? Are any other recognized certification agencies allowed to certify and be acceptable for rebate programs? IS NABCEP receiving government money? The idea that a private certification agency can hold power over an Electrical Contractor, or any other individual to make money is very disturbing!
