Commonwealth Woodstove Change-Out - Program Background

Through a partnership between MassCEC and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER), the Commonwealth Woodstove Change-Out Program has committed $1.8 million in funding for change-outs from 2017 through 2019. The 2017 program represents the sixth round of funding since the program's launch in 2012.

The program has helped more than 1,400 residents swap out their non-EPA certified, inefficient stoves for newer, cleaner models, and approximately 500 of these rebates went to residents earning less than 80 percent of the state median income.

As part of SEIA’s consumer protection efforts, SEIA promulgated the SEIA Solar Business Code (“Code”) to further transparency and understanding in solar power transactions, while maintaining high levels of competitiveness.  The Code covers many aspects of the standard solar transaction, including advertising, sales and marketing, and contracting. SEIA also adopted a Complaint Resolution Process to resolve complaints arising from the Code. Participants will hear an overview of the Code’s rules and the Complaint Resolution Process, and have a chance to ask questions about both.

In this webinar, we'll start by providing a brief overview of SEIA’s consumer protection efforts. Building on this groundwork, we’ll dive into the SEIA Solar Business Code, and discuss the five sections: Guide Principles; Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices; Advertising; Sales and Marketing Interactions; and Contracts. We will then go over how the Complaint Resolution Process works from submitting a complaint to appealing a decision. Participants will have a chance to ask questions about the Code’s requirements and the Complaint Resolution Process.
