SolarAPP+ and the California Energy Commission (CEC) List of Approved Equipment

What is the CEC List?

The CEC List is a comprehensive database maintained by the California Energy Commission, which contains information about solar equipment that meets the safety, performance, and reliability standards required for installation in California. This includes a wide range of equipment, such as solar modules, inverters, and storage systems, which are crucial components of solar energy systems.

The SolarAPP+ platform will perform automatic weekly updates to pull in the most up-to-date CEC List data every Thursday, ensuring that solar professionals are always working with the latest equipment and compliance information.

What happens if the equipment I want to use is on the CEC list, but isn't selectable within SolarAPP+?

If the product you're recommending follows standard architectures and methods of installation, no further action may be necessary aside from filling out the form below.

Review and update times may vary based on the complexity of the equipment and the level of detail in the submission.

***Please note, some technologies may require software development time to incorporate additional inputs, outputs, or calculations. A representative will reach out to discuss any challenges encountered while assessing the product or its features.

What happens if the equipment I want to use is not on the CEC list?

Unfortunately, a system that uses equipment not listed by the CEC cannot be approved through SolarAPP+. A request may be submitted to the CEC here to have equipment added to the list.
