About Solar Renewable Energy Certificates
At The Solar Broker, we’re committed to helping you maximize the financial benefits of going solar, and one of the most valuable opportunities available is through Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs). SRECs provide solar system owners with an additional revenue stream by rewarding them for producing clean, renewable energy. If you’re not familiar with how SRECs work, we’re here to guide you through the entire process—from understanding the benefits to setting up and selling your SRECs for maximum returns.
What are Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs)?
SRECs are tradable certificates that represent the environmental benefits of producing solar energy. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (1 megawatt-hour or MWh) of electricity your solar system generates, you earn one SREC. These certificates are sold on the open market to utilities and other companies that are required to meet renewable energy mandates.
In states with renewable portfolio standards (RPS), energy suppliers are often required to obtain a portion of their electricity from renewable sources. To meet these requirements, utilities can purchase SRECs from solar energy producers like you, which helps them comply with clean energy regulations. For solar system owners, this means you can earn additional income for every megawatt-hour of electricity your system produces, on top of the savings you already receive from reducing your energy bills.
Why Are SRECs Important?
• Earn Additional Income: SRECs provide an ongoing revenue stream for the solar energy you produce. Depending on market conditions and your location, SRECs can be sold for hundreds of dollars per certificate, making them a significant financial incentive.
• Shorten Your Payback Period: By earning and selling SRECs, you can accelerate the return on your solar investment. This additional income helps offset the initial cost of your solar system, shortening the payback period and improving your long-term savings.
• Support Renewable Energy: By selling SRECs, you’re not only earning money but also contributing to a greener future by helping utilities and companies meet their renewable energy goals.
