Electrical Unions Versus Solar Contractors
- Share via
Regarding “Governor’s Solar Plan Is Generating Opposition,” June 27:
The article incorrectly characterized C-46 (solar) contractors as being poorly trained in comparison with C-10 (electrical) contractors.
The training and the technical or trade portion of the examination for state licensing for C-10 has nothing do with solar energy. On the other hand, 50% of the C-46 test is PV (solar electric) related.
The move to exclude solar contractors is simply a bold move by electrical unions to funnel the solar dollars to their own members; it is not a technical/training issue, whatsoever.
