In Ohio, SREC eligibility dates back to the solar energy system’s interconnection date, so long as the system is registered with the PUCO within that same month. Systems not registered within the same month will be eligible for SRECs from the first day of the month in which they are registered with Ohio PUCO.
For example, a solar energy system interconnected on January 1, 2017 and registered on January 20, 2017 will receive credit back to January 1, 2017. Alternatively, a system interconnected on February 5, 2017 but registered in March 2017 will be eligible back to March 1, 2017.
