US Solar Marketplace
• U.S. solar energy industry grew— both in new
installations and employment.
• General Electric plans to close its Newark, DE, solar module facility at
the end of 2009 and lay off 82 employees.
• Evergreen Solar told investors that it will stop making solar panels at
its Devens, MA, plant and start making them in China by mid-2010.

Renewable Portfolio Standards
• An RPS requires the State’s utilities to have a certain percentages of
electric power produced by renewable sources of energy, such as solar
and wind power, over X number of years.
• National RPS as part of the Cap and Trade legislation, all States would be
required to generate some portion of their electric energy through
renewable resources by a certain time.

State SREC Programs
• Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires electricity suppliers to secure
a portion of their electricity from solar facilities connected to the local
distribution grid in that state.
– The SREC program provides a means for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) to
be created on behalf of the solar owner and sold to electric suppliers to meet their solar
RPS requirement. All electric suppliers are required to use the SREC program to show
compliance with this part of the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard.
• Increasing state focus on solar renewable energy certificates (or
equivalent) SRECs as a financial incentive
• SRECs provide solar owners with an economic incentive to investing in
solar electric systems which improve the electric distribution grid.
• To date, 16 of the 29 States with RPS Policies have a provisions for a Solar
carve-out; 2 of the 7 States with Renewable Goals have a solar provision.
15
Solar SREC (RECS)
• SRECs are in fact a “credit” for the amount of clean solar energy that your
solar panels produce. Utilities in some states need a certain amount of
these credits in order to comply with the State’s RPS.
• How do utilities get these credits? Generally, two ways: They either build
solar or wind farms and/or they pay you for the clean power your solar
panels produce. And how much cash is that credit worth?
• Note; you are selling the “environmental benefit” of your solar panels to
someone else, like the utility. You get paid for these credits.
