Registered Installer Registration Process
Clean Energy Credit Union Registered Installer Program
The Clean Energy CU Registered Installer Program offers a structured, multi-step onboarding process designed to vet and partner with high-quality solar professionals.
To begin the registration process, applicants must first submit an initial online inquiry to join the waitlist. Once selected to move forward, the journey includes signing a mutual NDA, providing detailed business documentation—such as financial statements and tax returns—and participating in a collaborative meeting with our team.
This rigorous vetting ensures all installers meet our standards for financial stability and customer-centric practices. Upon approval and completion of the training and onboarding sessions, registered partners gain full access to the Blueprint loan origination portal to offer competitive clean energy financing directly to their customers.
What Happens After You Apply
We review your company information to assess customer experiences and business practices.
If there is a potential fit, our team will contact you to schedule a follow-up conversation.
Installers selected to move forward will participate in a guided onboarding session covering our loan origination portal, processes, and best practices when submitting loans through blueprint.
