Installer Resources

Welcome to Clean Energy Credit Union’s Installer Resources hub.

This page is designed to provide contractors and installation partners with quick access to all the tools, instructions, and support materials they need to work with our financing programs. Whether you’re a solar installer, geothermal contractor, or a green home improvement professional, this hub helps you navigate our loan products, support members through the application process, and access the resources that make your projects run smoothly.

Note: Only solar PV installers are required to join our Registered Installer Program. If you are a solar installer and are not yet registered, please visit this page to get started.

Energy efficiency, geothermal, and other green home improvement installers can still use our financing programs without registering, and we provide dedicated resources for these projects.
