| The Limited Renewable Energy Technician (LRT) license is a specialty electrician license. LRT's are specialty electricians trained to install renewable energy systems (solar electric, wind turbines, micro-hydro, and fuel cells) up to 25kW AC. LRT's are regulated in the same way that all other electricians in the state of Oregon are: through the Building Codes Division (BCD) and the Electrical and Elevator Board. More information on the LRT and the BCD is available on the BCD website . The LRT specialty electrician license has a companion electrical contractor license (Limited Renewable Energy Contractor (CLR)) which allows the renewable energy technician to pull permits. The CLR is a specialty electrical contractor license available from the BCD. The CLR contractor license presents opportunities for both LRT's and Journeyman Electricians. Both LRT's and Journeyman Electricians can obtain a CLR contractor license and open their own Renewable Energy Business. See the BCD website for more information.
