Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) offer homeowners a unique way to benefit financially from the solar energy their systems generate. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar electricity produced, an SREC is awarded, which can be sold to utility companies and energy suppliers who need to meet state-mandated renewable energy targets. This system allows solar owners to earn additional income simply by producing clean energy, creating a passive revenue stream without extra effort once the system is in place. The value of SRECs varies by state and is influenced by local demand for renewable energy, making SRECs an appealing option in regions with active markets. For solar homeowners, SRECs are an effective way to maximize solar savings while supporting sustainable energy goals.
