Membership Divisions

SEIA recognizes and champions all facets of the solar industry, whether you are an installer, manufacturer, project developer, financier or anything in between. Each SEIA member is entitled to membership in the one division that best represents their legitimate business interests. All four divisions are represented on the SEIA Board of Directors.

Photovoltaic (PV)

This division serves those corporations, partnerships, cooperatives and other business entities whose primary activity is to manufacture, market, sell and install photovoltaic systems, inverters and related equipment and components.

Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC)

Solar heating and cooling encompasses solar water heating, solar space heating and cooling and solar pool heating. The Solar Heating and Cooling division includes those companies whose primary activity is to manufacture, market, sell or install solar heating or cooling systems and related equipment.

Solar Services and Consumers (SSC)

This division is for Solar Service providers (law firms, accounting firms, engineers, banks and other debt providers and investors), financial and investment advisors, educational institutions and related organizations (and consumers of solar energy). Generally, this division serves SEIA members who support the advancement of the solar industry.

Utility-Scale Solar Power (USP)

The Utility-Scale Solar Power division includes both concentrating thermal and concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) projects. Technologies include trough, power tower, compact linear Fresnel and dish systems which concentrate the thermal energy of the sun to drive a conventional steam turbine. CSP/CPV projects often generate hundreds of megawatts of electricity, making them attractive as wholesale energy suppliers to utilities. The Utility-Scale Solar Power division serves those companies which develop CSP projects or manufacture, sell or install equipment for use in such projects.
