Contractor Training for San Fernando Valley Incentives

New TECH Clean California incentives for residential electrification upgrades are coming to the San Fernando Valley at the end of the summer. To offer single-family TECH Clean California incentives in the San Fernando Valley, contractors must complete an applicable company-level training as described below. The responsible lead installer for each project must also complete manufacturer training on each installed technology or an accepted alternative training – more information about this and about training requirements for multifamily projects will be added soon. (Priority community ZIP Codes include: 91303, 91304, 91305, 91306, 91307, 91308, 91309, 91311, 91312, 91313, 91316, 91324, 91325, 91326, 91327, 91328, 91329, 91330, 91335, 91337, 91343, 91344, 91401, 91402, 91403, 91404, 91405, 91406, 91407, 91408, 91409, 91410, 91411, 91412, 91413, 91416, 91423, 91426, 91436.)

At least one person at your company must complete company-level training. These trainings cover the knowledge and skills needed for home electrification, including technology fundamentals, design principles, sales strategies, and installation best practices. Owners, managers, and sales representatives will get the most out of these trainings. Installers, service technicians, and office support staff will also benefit.

Choose the training pathway that works for your business based on which technologies you’d like to install. If your company has already taken one of these trainings, there is no need to take it again.
