A transparent $2.90/W redline. Your own Aurora Solar credentials. Training that actually teaches you how solar works. Most reps have no idea what they're worth — you will.
Thousands of California solar salespeople are working for companies that hide pricing, inflate redlines above $3.00/W, and leave them unable to compete on adders or batteries. That ends here.
You know exactly what you're selling from. No inflated "dealer fees" buried in the numbers. Close more deals, keep more money, and compete against anyone.
Design professional proposals under our Axia by Qcells partnership. Full site modeling, sales mode proposals, and your own login — not a shared screen with your manager watching.
Energy bill analysis, NEM 3.0 export rates, battery sizing, SGIP incentives, every California utility, codes, compliance, and closing. The education most companies refuse to give.
California law allows 1099 solar salespeople with valid CSLB HIS registration. We guide you through the process. No territory restrictions, no cap, no office politics.

Master the art of reading any California utility bill. Understand TOU (Time-of-Use) rate structures, baseline allowances, demand charges, tiered pricing, and how to calculate a customer's real annual spend. Know exactly how much they'll save — and prove it.
NEM 3.0 changed everything. Export credits dropped to ~$0.05–$0.08/kWh avoided cost (versus $0.25–$0.45 under NEM 2.0). This is why batteries are now essential for most systems. Learn to explain it in plain English, handle objections, and use it to close more battery adders legally and ethically.
Batteries are where top reps make real money in 2026. Learn to size correctly, price adders, stack SGIP incentives (up to $1,000/kWh in some tiers), calculate payback under NEM 3.0, and present battery value without overwhelming a customer. This module alone can add $1,500–$4,000 to your earnings per deal.
Most reps use Aurora like a calculator. Top reps use it like a design studio. Learn site modeling, shading analysis, production accuracy, professional proposals in sales mode, sub-account best practices, and how to fix common design errors before they cost you a deal or a permit.
California law requires CSLB Home Improvement Salesperson (HIS) registration for anyone who solicits, negotiates, or sells home improvement contracts — including solar. We walk you through the exact registration process, what to say in the field, the Solar Energy System Disclosure Document requirements (16-pt bold), the 3-day right of rescission, and senior protections.
Every California utility has different rate structures, interconnection timelines, NEM rules, and quirks that affect how you pitch. Know the territory before you knock the door.
NEM 3.0 killed the old scripts. Learn what actually works in 2026 — how to present the avoided cost reality, why batteries sell themselves when explained right, how to handle "I need to think about it," "My neighbor got it cheaper," and how to maximize adders ethically without pressure tactics.
Real-time calculators built around the $2.90/W redline. Run scenarios, price adders, and know exactly what you earn before you leave the driveway.
Downloads available to enrolled reps. Everything from CSLB compliance to utility rate schedules — professionally compiled and updated quarterly.
Takes 3 minutes. We review applications within 24 hours and follow up personally. No volume commitments, no territory restrictions.
Transparent pricing from day one. Know your floor before your first knock.
We guide you through the setup under our Axia by Qcells partnership. Design your own proposals.
All 7 modules, calculators, PDF resources, and 24/7 AI Solar Coach chat unlocked.
If you don't have your HIS yet, we walk you through exactly how to get it. Required by California law before soliciting.
Important Note
All 1099 independent contractors must obtain and maintain valid CSLB HIS registration before soliciting contracts. We provide guidance — not legal advice. Verify with CSLB.gov.
We'll review your application and reach out personally within 24 business hours. Check your email — we'll send a confirmation with your first training link right away.
Welcome to TiviForge Solar Academy
TiviForge was built by a California solar salesperson who got tired of watching talented reps work hard for companies that hid pricing, inflated redlines, and left their teams with no real training — just a script and a prayer.
After securing an authorized partnership in the Axia by Qcells network, TiviForge now offers 1099 independent contractors a real opportunity: a transparent redline, professional tools, and actual education on how California solar works in 2026.
We are not a solar contractor. We are a sales partnership and training academy. All system designs are reviewed and finalized by properly licensed Axia by Qcells contractors. All 1099 reps operate as independent contractors under California law, including required CSLB HIS registration.
