As a clean energy installer, it really infuriates me when I read inflated and bogus marketing claims put forth by obvious scammers. What do you think we, as an industry, should do about this? Why don’t you expose them? – Bill C., Clean Energy Installer

I just went to a CEGAlliance presentation they hold for contractors. Any one heard of them? Please advise.
I’m a Cega Affiliate and yes, I’ve received financing for one of my residential projects putting up 14kW. I am new to this solar game but do appreciate the help I have got from CEGA
Cheers friends!
it’s funny that some believe that Cega contractors “making it” would actually come to a Cega Presentation and try to sell other contractors to join. I mean, how would getting more contractors in this alliance benefit them? They’re making money in this, and you joining only means potentially less for them! Southern California isn’t that big after all….

doesn’t look so bad to me…
I am looking for information on CEGA, They look like they can be a real help to my contracting business to get into the Solar revolution. I know I can not get be successful at this on my own with out a great deal of time and money building a solar company on my own. I have to take this next step I do not want to miss this boat. So anyone that has had an experience with them post some feedback. Thanks KW
I am a contractor in the CEGA alliance and have done $600,000 in projects and more coming!
Proud to be in the Alliance!

I have been trying to get into the solar business for a couple of years now. I took some classes on installation, the actual installation seems the easy part. I have not been able to get a job mainly because I do not have any engineering experience and or design knowledge. I also found that I can not get the panels, I have no account set up with a solar supplier and have been quoted a price but it was to high a cost to me I would have to pay cash for the whole project upfront out of my pocket, so I could not compete with other bidders and make any money. Topping it all off I had no ability to get the project financed for the client. Does this CEGA have that ability?
I know solar is the only place to be in construction and I, like you do not want to miss “The Boat”.
I found some articles on CEGA and this alliance on the net, from what I read they seem to have a good idea that will help me get into the business of solar. Good luck to you….wait let me restate myself … luck will happen to everyone better to say Good Plan to your success! I may not of helped you but you may have helped me. I will check them out and report back. TK
Just came back from CEGA meeting today. Looks like from what I have seen and the comments on here I am going to take the plunge. I have many clients that are asking about solar and now that I have learned that CEGA can provide a leasing program this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Why not go solar, no cost out pocket and you get to tell the utility company to take a hike saving money right away. No Brainer!
All right guys, I am with CEGA and they are a great company to work with. They have the business savvy and they are continuously evolving and improving …. Quote of the day. “Go solar, don’t buy solar panels – buy solar electricity”
