RECS Improve Solar Systems Rate of Return

RECS help make the financials and rate of returns quite good on many solar systems and solar power generating facilities. RECS are renewable energy certificates that the owner of a solar generating plant receive for every one megawatt of power they produce. These RECS have become a hot commodity since utilities must obtain these to offset their normal power production methods or more specifically to help offset their carbon emissions.

Our federal government has set mandates that states must have anywhere from 10% to as much as 40% of their total power production made up by renewable energy sources such as solar systems, wind turbines or hydro electric type generating plants. We are seeing the price of RECS go out of site in many states since renewable energy is not keeping up with the required government mandates. With tax credits going away soon we see the price of RECS becoming even harder to obtain while prices will be rising sharply. Innovative Solar Systems, LLC can be your source to buy or sell RECS on the open market.

We are expert in the field of solar power and ground mounted solar systems and therefore are ready to either buy of sell you RECS at any given time. By negotiating a long term contract with us for RECS you will avoid the headaches of wondering what will happen with supply and demand as things get tighter and harder to find RECS out there. Call Innovative Solar Systems, LLC today for the best designs in ground mounted solar systems and to speak with one of our professionals about either buying our RECS or having us broker your RECS.

SRECs from Solar Systems Make You Thousands

SRECs or Solar Renewable Energy Certificates can make you thousands if you own solar systems that produce large quantities of electricity. Federal mandates are requiring that states have anywhere from 10% to 40% of their power production made up by renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro by sometime between now and 2025 approximately. A solar power generating plant receives one SREC, or Solar Renewable Energy Certificate per megawatt of power produced. These SRECs have become and are becoming a valuable commodity by those producing solar power these days.

Utilities in many states are paying anywhere from $100 per SREC to as much as $600 for SRECs as they need these clean energy certificates to stay in compliance with federal mandates. Innovative Solar Systems, LLC designs, sells and installs solar systems on the order of 500KW and up and therefore are always willing to negotiate long term contracts with clients for the purchase of their SRECs. Innovative Solar Systems, LLC is also a broker that can pair clients up with other large scale solar power producers that need to sell SRECs in all fifty states.

Let Innovative Solar Systems, LLC be your provider of large scale solar systems and provide you with bundled and non bundled packages of SRECs. We are expert in the area of solar power production as well as requirements of states for their renewable energy portfolios. Contact us today for SRECs for both the short term and long term. Renewable Energy mandates keep going up and the price of SRECs will continue to go up with demand. Call the team at Innovative Solar Systems, LLC for SRECs and commercial solar systems.

SRECs Improve Income on Solar Systems

SRECs make the internal rate of return on Solar Systems quite good these days and investors of all types are lining up to get into the solar business. By selling off your SRECs either bundled with your power production or without many are finding that the payback on solar systems is about one of the best investments available in the current market. So what are SRECs and how do these add so much to the bottom line on my returns?

SRECs are solar renewable energy certificates and owners of solar systems receive on SREC or solar renewable energy certificate per one megawatt of power produced. Utilities will then buy these clean energy certificates as they are mandated to do in order to offset their dirty power production. In essence, these SRECs are carbon offsets and is another way to understand why SRECs are becoming such a hot commodity.

Innovative Solar Systems, LLC sells, designs and installs large scale solar systems and offers up our packages of SRECs to those on the open market that are required to obtain these solar renewable energy certificates. The price of SRECs will sky rocket in many states within the next five years as the mandates for these SRECs will increase seven fold. Give Innovative Solar Systems, LLC a call today and explore the packages of SRECs that we will sell you on long term contracts.

Are you like many that are trying to figure out how to buy or sell an SREC on the open market? Call the team at Innovative Solar Systems, LLC today to purchase SREC quantities in either a bundled or non bundled form. We are the premier designer and installer of commercial grade solar systems in North America and are always here to answer the questions of clients when it comes to solar renewable energy certificates.

An SREC will become much harder to buy in many states where the prices are rising sharply as the demand it increasing dramatically. The mandates for utilities to obtain these SRECs will go up seven times within the next five years and due to this simple fact the demand for an SREC will be amazing in our opinion. We are designing solar systems like crazy these days because many of our clients know that the demand for an SREC will be huge in the very very near future and most solar systems will produce energy for at least a 25 year period once installed.

Let Innovative Solar Systems, LLC show you the way to better prices on that SREC, both now and in the future. Renewable Energy is wonderful, but when the front end tax credits go away in the near future the SREC will be a quite valuable commodity.

What is an SREC

What is an SREC and why are they so valuable? An SREC or Solar Renewable Energy Certificate as they are called are actually traded , non-tangible solar energy commodities that show proof that someone or some entity has produced 1 megawatt-hour of electricity and that the electricity was generated from a renewable energy source like solar photo-voltaic panels. The price for an SREC varies from state to state and the prices in many states for an SREC is rising sharply as federal and state mandates for these solar renewable energy certificates increases.

So how does an SREC come into existence? When owners of solar systems start producing power many will register with an SREC tracking system or service within their state that handles to actual keeping and distribution of the created SREC by a solar power generation plant. Each month, the utility that handles the power distribution for the solar power generating plant will read their meter and then report the reading to the SREC tracking company so that the appropriate numbers of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates can be issued to the generation company or entity. These certificates are singular, numbered and finite in nature so that only one certificate can be issued and distributed for the 1 megawatt of power generated.

Utilities that are producing power from "dirty" means like coal and produce carbon emissions are required to buy, purchase, barter or obtain amounts of these SREC units to offset their dirty power production with SREC clean energy certificates. Here at Innovative Solar Systems, LLC we sell, design and install large commercial solar systems and will always have SREC bulk quantities for sale. We love signing long term contracts with clients that are willing to purchase anywhere from 1000 to 10,000 of our SREC certificates per year. Call Innovative Solar Systems, LLC today to tell us your SREC needs or to bid on SREC packages that are currently available.
