One of the goals of the SolarBC Program is the installation of 2,000 solar hot water systems in homes by 2010 by providing incentives, training and facilitating installations. If you are interested in becoming a SolarBC Registered Installation Contractor, you are required to have at least one CanSIA certified installer on staff. This workshop is one of the requirements to complete the CanSIA Canadian Solar Domestic Hot Water System Installer Certification program.

This workshop provides a review of installation procedures, practises and requirements. Included in the workshop cost are two CanSIA manuals; STT 100 – Fundamentals, and STT 200 – Installation, Maintenance and Design.

The Canadian Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) Installer Certification Exam is another one of the requirements to become a Certified Canadian SDHW System Installer. The exam (optional) that follows the workshop is an open book exam. If you intend to take the exam please be sure to register for the exam.

All those who register and make payment for this workshop before October 6, 2008 will have the STT 100 and STT 200 manuals mailed to them so participants can be better prepared to write the exam afterwards. All manuals are included in the workshop cost.

Please note you do NOT have to be an experienced installer or a licensed plumber to participate in this workshop. However, in order to become a CanSIA Certified SDHW Installer you will require installation experience. For inexperienced installers wishing to take this course you are permitted to fulfill the experience requirements at a later time.
