How much will I get paid for my SRECs?

Understand how SREC payments are calculated, including pricing, contracts, and fees.

1. Your contract type determines how you’re paid

Sol Annuity (Fixed Price Contract)

If you are on a Sol Annuity contract, your payment is simple and predictable:

  • You receive a guaranteed fixed price per SREC
  • This rate is locked in for a set number of years
  • No fees are deducted

👉 This means you will receive the same amount for every SREC, regardless of market changes.


Brokerage Contract (Market-Based Pricing)

If you are on a brokerage contract, your SRECs are sold on the open market.

Your payment will vary based on:

  • Market demand
  • Policy changes
  • Buyer pricing

2. Fees for brokerage accounts

Brokerage accounts include the following fees:

  • 2% administrative fee
  • Customer service transaction charge:
    • 7% of the SREC price OR $5 (whichever is greater)

Examples:

  • If your SREC sells for $50:
    • 7% = $3.50 → minimum applies
    • Fee = $5
  • If your SREC sells for $350:
    • 7% = $24.50 → greater than $5
    • Fee = $24.50

3. How SREC pricing is determined

For brokerage customers, pricing is set by our trading team based on current market conditions.

We publish estimated pricing on our website and Help Center for each market.

Pricing can be influenced by:

  • State policies and regulations
  • Changes in government administration priorities
  • Supply and demand (how many SRECs are available vs. needed)

4. Why your payment may be lower than expected

There are a few common reasons:

  • Your SREC sold at a lower market price than expected
  • Applicable fees were deducted (brokerage accounts only)
  • Market conditions have changed

👉 In general, SREC prices tend to gradually decrease over time due to:

  • State ACP (Alternative Compliance Payment) schedules
  • Increasing supply of SRECs, which reduces demand
