Registering SRECs in Pennsylvania
Registering for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) in Pennsylvania is a key step for solar system owners, and it’s quite straightforward. Here’s a concise guide to help you understand the essential steps of the process:
- Start After Permission to Operate (PTO): The SREC registration process in Pennsylvania begins only after your solar system has been granted Permission to Operate. This is a crucial prerequisite.
- Timeframe for Approval: Typically, the SREC registration and approval process takes about 3 to 6 months. This duration assumes that there are no significant issues with your application.
Stages of the SREC Registration Process:
- Ready for SREC: As soon as your solar system is confirmed to be ready for SREC registration, the necessary information is submitted to SRECTrade, a platform that facilitates SREC transactions.
- Application Submission: Following the submission, you will receive an automatic email notification indicating that your SREC application is underway. Additionally, SRECTrade will keep you updated on the progress.
- Your Involvement: Your involvement in the process is minimal. Solar States will take care of the submission and any necessary follow-ups.
In summary, the SREC registration process in Pennsylvania is initiated after the solar system receives PTO, takes a few months to complete, and requires minimal involvement from you.
