NC-2009 EAc2:On-Site Renewable Energy

Eligibility of PV systems receiving SRECs

I apologize if this was covered explicitly in another discussion. In Massachusetts, there's a well-established SREC market. However, the SRECs are paid whether the electricity is used on site or exported. That is, the value of the SRECs are based on the total electricity generated, not by the net electricity exported. By the language of the credit it would appear that such a system wouldn't be eligible under EA c2 even though the full environmental benefit is being realized by the project. Can you provide any clarity on the issue?

The PV output counts for EAc2 if the project retains ownership of the RECs and does not sell them or if they are replaced with other RECs.
