# 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**

- **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
