Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC's)
Generally speaking a 5k system will produce 6 SREC’s per year. A 10k system will produce about 12 SREC’s per year. You earn a SREC for every megawatt (1,000kW) that is produced from your system. Do not confuse SRECs with power that you've produced over what you've used. SRECs and power that you sell back to the grid are two distinctly different cash streams positively affecting payback and ROI of your Solar System. SREC’s are available for sale on the market to utility companies. Utility companies are required to sell renewable energy to their clients. They have a minimum % that they have to sell compared to their total sales. They either have to make their own renewable energy or buy from other generators. After your system is registered with the state, you become a generator off SREC’s. The weighted average for a SREC started in January of 2009 at $225.00 and was up to $397.05 in January of 2010.
