CEC approval is non-negotiable for STC
Only SKUs on the CEC Approved Modules List qualify for STC (Small-scale Technology Certificates) — the rebate that pays 20–35% of a residential system. Ask the Chinese supplier for the exact SKU name matching the CEC listing. Renewal is annual and delisting is common.
