ROI Impact
SREC tracking automation connects solar monitoring systems to certificate databases, automatically logging generation data, calculating certificate eligibility based on jurisdiction rules, and maintaining compliance records without manual data entry. This ensures accurate revenue capture and regulatory compliance.
How This Automation Works
Solar production data recorded → SREC records automatically updated
Solar Generation Data Captured
The system continuously monitors your solar installations and captures generation data including kWh produced, system performance metrics, timestamp information, and system identifiers. Data is collected at your specified intervals—hourly, daily, or custom—ensuring no generation period goes unrecorded.
Data Validated and Normalized
Incoming generation data is automatically validated for completeness, checked against expected performance ranges, and normalized to standard units. Any anomalies or missing data points trigger alerts while the system continues processing valid records to prevent delays in certificate tracking.
SREC Eligibility Calculated
The system applies jurisdiction-specific rules to determine SREC eligibility, calculating how many certificates can be generated based on production volume, system qualifications, and market requirements. Calculations account for factors like vintage year, system capacity, and any applicable multipliers or adjustments.
Tracking Database Updated
Calculated SREC values are logged to your central tracking database with full metadata including generation period, system location, calculation methodology, and timestamp. The system maintains running balances of pending, registered, and sold certificates for each installation and aggregated portfolio views.
Compliance Documentation Generated
Audit-ready documentation is automatically created including generation attestations, system qualification proofs, calculation worksheets, and regulatory filing forms. Documents are stored with version control and can be retrieved instantly for compliance reviews or certificate registration processes.
Notifications and Reporting Delivered
Stakeholders receive automated notifications when certificate thresholds are reached, anomalies are detected, or reporting deadlines approach. Scheduled reports summarize generation performance, certificate balances, revenue projections, and compliance status, keeping all teams informed without manual status checks.
How It Works
Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) tracking is critical for monetizing renewable energy production, but manual monitoring leads to missed revenue opportunities and compliance gaps. This automation connects your solar monitoring systems directly to SREC tracking databases, automatically logging generation data, calculating certificate eligibility, and maintaining audit-ready records. By eliminating manual data transfers and spreadsheet reconciliation, solar installers and asset managers can ensure every megawatt-hour is properly documented and monetized. The system captures real-time generation metrics, applies jurisdiction-specific SREC calculation rules, and maintains comprehensive historical records for regulatory reporting. This end-to-end automation reduces administrative overhead by up to 85% while improving SREC claim accuracy and accelerating revenue recognition from renewable energy production.
The Trigger
When your solar monitoring system records new generation data—whether hourly, daily, or at custom intervals—the automation immediately captures production metrics including kWh generated, system performance ratios, and timestamp information. This trigger works with major solar monitoring platforms and can process data from single installations or entire solar portfolios.
The Action
The system calculates SREC eligibility based on jurisdiction-specific requirements, logs generation data to your tracking database, updates certificate balances, prepares compliance documentation, and sends notifications when thresholds are met for certificate registration or sale. All records maintain full audit trails with timestamps and source verification.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Revenue Leakage
Never miss SREC revenue opportunities due to overlooked generation periods or calculation errors. Automated tracking ensures every eligible megawatt-hour is properly documented and monetized, maximizing returns from your solar investments.
Reduce Administrative Burden
Eliminate time-consuming spreadsheet reconciliation, manual data transfers, and repetitive calculations. Your team can focus on strategic activities like market analysis and portfolio optimization instead of data entry and record-keeping.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Maintain complete, accurate records that meet regulatory requirements for SREC programs. Automated documentation with full audit trails reduces compliance risk and simplifies regulatory reviews, certificate registrations, and third-party audits.
Accelerate Revenue Recognition
Capture and process generation data immediately as it's produced, enabling faster certificate registration and sale. Real-time visibility into certificate balances allows you to optimize market timing and respond quickly to price opportunities.
Scale Portfolio Management
Manage SREC tracking for single installations or hundreds of systems with the same efficiency. Automated aggregation provides portfolio-wide visibility while maintaining detailed records for each individual system.
Improve Data Accuracy
Eliminate human errors in data transcription, unit conversion, and eligibility calculations. Standardized processes and automated validation ensure consistent, accurate SREC tracking across your entire solar portfolio.
