GENERAL QUESTIONS

  • An SREC, or Solar Renewable Energy Credit, is a tradable certificate that represents the environmental benefits of generating one megawatt-hour (MWh) of solar electricity.

  • Any solar system owner — from homeowners to nonprofits, schools, and businesses — can sell SRECs if their system is registered in an eligible state program and they retained ownership of their SRECs.

  • We provide multiple options for selling your SRECs. We can fully manage your SREC account or your can sell your SRECs yourself on our automated online brokerage. Either way, you will have the benefit of transparent tracking, faster electronic payments, and lower commissions compared to many traditional brokers or utility programs.

  • If you elect to be a fully managed client, SREC Marketplace will manage everything required for your system to be assigned SRECs. This includes upload of your solar generation, managing SREC / SREC II / TREC assignment and managing your payments. As a Fully Managed client, you will be paid quarterly each Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec electronically by ACH.

  • If you elect to be a self managed client, you will retain responsibility and control of your generation account. When your SRECs are assigned, you would enter the sale on our online SREC Brokerage and transfer your SRECs to us to complete the sale with payment issued electronically to you via ACH.

  • Eligibility depends on state renewable portfolio standards. We support all active SREC markets and continuously update as new programs come online.

  • There are no upfront costs. We only take a small management fee if you choose our fully managed service or an even smaller transaction fee if you manage your SREC sales yourself.

PAYMENTS & TRACKING

  • For managed client, we issue payments quarterly via direct deposit. No more paper checks or delays. For self managed clients, we pay the next business day after the SRECs are transferred.

  • Our portal provides real-time dashboards where you can monitor SREC sales, and payment history. The best news for those that manage multiple solar facilities is our platform reconciles all payments across all your properties in one easy platform.

  • We can help transition your accounts, consolidate records, and ensure future SRECs are tracked and paid correctly.
