Webinar for Self-Installers and New Installers

REG Small Scale project installation quality is of vital importance to protect customers who have gone solar and to help support a growing solar industry in Rhode Island. Beginning in 2019, all self-installers and new installers that have not previously applied to the Small-Scale REG program must complete a training prior to applying to RI Energy for a project.

The training is a webinar and must be watched, in its entirety, by the self-installer or one person within the solar installation company that is responsible for project installation and/or oversight of project construction. The definition of a solar installation company in terms of this training means the company with which the customer has signed a turnkey contract and provides the workmanship warranty. Only one person per company must complete the training, however it can be completed by multiple employees and/or electrical subcontractors.

Upon completion of the webinar, an email will be generated indicating that the self-installer or new installation company have completed the training. Make sure to upload the email to the interconnection portal with other backup documentation.

If your company has submitted an application to the REG program in previous years (prior to April 1, 2019) you do not need to complete this training. However, this webinar was developed as a resource and can be reviewed at any time by new or existing employees.
