What Are SRECs in NJ?

In New Jersey, SREC stands for Solar Renewable Energy Certificate. You may also hear it referred to as a Solar Renewable Energy Credit. That’s because the program is managed at the state level and different states use similar names for their programs, and in some states the “C” in SREC does stand for “Credits”.

In New Jersey, an SREC is created when a solar panel system generates 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity. So, for every megawatt you produce, you get a credit, even if you’re the one using the electricity.

The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program requires that a certain percentage of electricity sold in New Jersey be generated from renewable sources. Rather than invest renewable energy projects themselves - which can take years and cost millions to build and maintain - the utility companies are happy to buy the credits for the energy you produce.

To support these transactions, SRECs are tracked through the PJM-GATS (Generation Attribute Tracking System) registry and can be traded just like stocks on Wall Street between parties.

As a renewable energy producer, every SRECs you produce can be sold into this marketplace and the revenues can be used to offset the investment you made in your solar panel system.

  • Monitoring & Management Setup

    At the same time, we will send your ACH document for completion detailing where you would like your monthly payments to be deposited. Once the paperwork is complete, our team will track your solar system’s energy production and provide regular reports.

What Our Customers Think

  • 5

    It's been about a year and a half since I purchased my solar system from Solar Me and everything I was told was spot on. I received my full 30% federal tax credit, my SREC's are exactly as they were estimated and my system works perfectly. I haven't had an electric bill since I went on line. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend using Solar Me if you are thinking about getting a solar system.

    From Start to finish, the design and installation was seamless. I researched several different companies before committing with Solar Me. The cost to do the install was actually less than the other estimates I received, but the deciding factor for me was the intelligence and integrity of the team I dealt with. I would have paid more to have a better experience, but fortunately I did not have to. My electricity bills have disappeared and I am making SREC income monthly. All this was also handled by Solar Me! I didn’t need to do a thing.

    There isn't a negative review out there for this company and the reason is that that they are a delight to work with. Everyone we had contact with, from the top down, was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and great at their jobs.
    We are having a blast watching the meter spin backwards, even when it's overcast and the A/C unit is cranking away!
    Update: We just got our first electric bill since the new meter was installed. It was $2.78, the same month last year we paid $115.00!  This was the easiest and best home improvement we've done. Now, we're looking forward to receiving our SREC deposits in our bank account. Couldn't be happier!
