Go Solar, California! - CSI Thermal Program

CSI Thermal Contractor and Self-Installer Training

 

The California Solar Initiative Thermal (Solar Water Heating) program offers incentives for the installation of solar water heating systems to displace both gas and electric use on residential, multifamily and commercial properties. This CSI Thermal Workshop is a required introductory course for contractors, self-installers and applicants interested in participating in the CSI Thermal Program — see Eligibility section below for more information. The class is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the program, its requirements and the application process. We will also provide an overview of solar water heating technologies. The agenda is to be determined and will be posted at a later date.

Please note: This is not an instructional class on how to install solar water heating systems.

Eligibility

Completion of this course by the contractor license owner as listed with the California State License Board (CSLB) is mandatory to participate in the CSI-Thermal Program. This will satisfy the requirement for the entire company to be eligible as a contractor or to fill out the application. Attendance by all other company employees is optional, but is strongly recommended for installers and other personnel involved in the application process. Installation contractors must have an active A, B, C-4, C-36 or C-46 license.
