Registered Installer Registration Process

The Registered Installer Program is designed for solar installation companies that want to offer Clean Energy Credit Union’s loan products directly to their customers. Registered Installers gain access to our financing platform, loan portal, and support resources to streamline the clean energy financing process. The purpose of the Program is to ensure high-quality service for both our members and their contractors/installers, Clean Energy Credit Union requires that solar loan applicants work with approved solar dealers ensuring an efficient lending process.

Once you have completed the initial application, our team will begin our review. From there the process includes:

1. Complete the application on the Clean Energy CU website.
2. A mutual NDA will be sent to you via email. Please complete it so we can move forward with the application process.
3. If your company’s application is approved, you’ll then complete the remainder of our Registered Installer application which requires submission of company financials, business formation documents, tax returns and more.
4. Once those documents have been reviewed, we will schedule a meeting with your team so that we can get to know each other better and allow for Q&A in both directions.
5. If accepted to become a Registered Installer your company will sign a dealer agreement and we will begin providing instructional materials and training for your team and portal logins.
6. Once onboarding is complete and your team can begin initiating loans with your customers in our Installer portal.
