Requires license holders to complete either a photovoltaic installation training course or obtain manufacturer certification for the photovoltaic products they will install.

Requires license holders to demonstrate practical experience through one of the following: completing at least one photovoltaic installation as a lead installer or subcontractor, supervising one or more photovoltaic installations on-site, or completing at least seven photovoltaic installations as an apprentice.
