Do engineers (e.g., structural engineers required for the design of a solar PV array) need to be Qualified Contractors?


As per the CEIP Regulation, all work related to the installation of a clean energy improvement must be completed by a Qualified Contractor. If the engineer is completing work related to the installation of a clean energy improvement, then they must be either a Qualified Contractor or an employee of a Qualified Contractor.

The Qualified Contractor must ensure that all personnel adheres to the CEIP Qualified Contractor Terms and Conditions. “Personnel” means all personnel involved in the development and/or provision of CEIP services and/or CEIP deliverables by a Qualified Contractor, whether they are employees, subcontractors or other agents of the Qualified Contractor engaged in CEIP-eligible services.
