Under the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS), a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) represents the positive environmental attributes associated with clean energy production. Retail electricity suppliers are required to purchase a certain number of RECs each year to comply with the RPS. A Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) is a type of REC that is specifically designated for energy output from eligible solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. SRECs have a significantly higher market value than other RECs. To earn SRECs, the production from your solar PV system must be reported to the Production Tracking System (PTS).
The RPS is a regulation that is administered by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER). For more information, please visit DOER's RPS website.
