In Maryland, SREC eligibility dates back to the solar energy system’s interconnection date, so long as the system’s registration is submitted to the Public Service Commission within the same calendar year.
Systems not submitted for registration within the same calendar year will be eligible for SRECs from January 1 of the year in which they are registered.
For example, a solar energy system interconnected in June 2017 and registered in October 2017 will receive credit back to June 2017; a system interconnected in June 2017 but registered in February 2018 will be eligible back to January 1, 2018.
