Recheck’s verification platform provides
industry companies a best-in-class solution to uphold the highest
standards in residential solar
Recheck, the verification platform for the residential solar
industry, announced today the launch of its industry registry in
partnership with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and
leading solar finance, contractor, and technology partners. The
first platform of its kind, Recheck offers an industry-wide
registry of residential solar salespeople and installers to
guarantee the highest standards of customer experience for families
nationwide wanting to transition to cheaper, cleaner energy
alternatives.
Recheck’s founding partners include nearly every U.S.
residential solar financing company, ensuring rapid adoption of the
platform. Founding partners include Dividend Finance, Freedom
Forever, GoodLeap, Mosaic, Palmetto, Sungage Financial, Sunlight
Financial, and Sunrun.
The foundation of the Recheck platform is a Recheck ID, an
ID-verified unique identification number that allows contractors,
financiers, and technology platforms to confirm that their partners
meet certification, licensing, and training requirements in order
to provide the highest-quality customer experience. This unique
Recheck ID, in combination with SEIA’s upcoming standards, will
also offer each participating sales representative and installer
the ability to complete an objective third-party certification,
enabling them to differentiate themselves based on validated
training and best practices.
Additionally, Recheck will facilitate industry-wide data
exchanges across the platform. These data exchanges can be used by
industry companies to vet sales partners, prevent poor practices by
unregistered salespeople, and identify individuals with a history
of consumer protection violations who try to move from company to
company.
“A healthy solar industry is vital to consumers and the U.S.
energy transition. Recheck is proud of its founding partners and is
committed to building the tools to ensure long-term trust with
consumers,” said Tim Trefren, Recheck co-founder and CEO.
The U.S. residential solar industry has grown by over 500% in
the past decade, delivering energy savings, more reliable power,
and greater control over their energy future to millions of
families nationwide. For years, industry leaders have prioritized
consumer protection to forge strong, long-lasting relationships
with customers and build a clean energy future together. This
innovative partnership helps companies further strengthen these
relationships by providing customers with increased understanding
and confidence when making residential solar investment
decisions.
Before Recheck, there was no national, industry-wide system for
finance, contractor, and technology partners to track individual
salespeople conduct, enforce industry consumer-protection
standards, and improve transparency in customer interactions.
Industry leaders have united to implement Recheck’s market-driven
solution, ensuring the residential solar industry continues to
thrive across the country.
“This is a critical partnership as SEIA works to make sure every
solar installation in the United States is safe, reliable, and
meets customer expectations,” said SEIA president and CEO Abigail
Ross Hopper. “Solar remains America’s most popular form of energy
and will be installed on 10 million homes by 2030. It’s our job to
make sure the solar and storage industry is accountable to the
millions of families that are putting their trust in us to power
their lives.”
Recheck launches with the support of SEIA, the national trade
association for the U.S. solar industry and a leader in solar
consumer protection policy. Recheck and SEIA have formed a
partnership to drive the adoption of SEIA's upcoming American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited Consumer Protection
Standard (SEIA 401) and the Recheck registry.
Recheck founding partners will be part of an ongoing advisory
board and have committed to driving the adoption of Recheck IDs
within their platforms in 2024 and beyond.
