The Clean Energy Connection serves both California homeowners and clean energy contractors. For homeowners, we make it easy to find a contractor who’s licensed, experienced, and highly rated for clean energy work. For contractors, we provide a transparent, performance-based directory that rewards quality work and customer satisfaction.
Unlike other directories, contractors cannot pay for placement in the Clean Energy Connection. Instead, every contractor must pass a rigorous vetting process to be listed.
