Atlantic City Electric

Purchase and Sale Agreement Expiration

After 10 years Atlantic City Electric will no longer purchase any further SRECs from your solar project. Under New Jersey law your project is eligible for 5 more years of SRECs at the market price.

In order to continue receiving payments for your SRECs, there are a few steps that need to be completed:

  1. All solar owners need to have their own GATS account. GATS is the company that is run by the state that certifies the energy you produce through your panels, and then awards you with an SREC for every 1,000 kwh that you produce.
  2. Every solar facility in New Jersey needs a revenue grade meter to track energy production and SREC creation. Atlantic City Electric will leave your meter at the conclusion of your contract. You will have to manually read your meter to generate SRECs.

This is where Flett Exchange comes in. We offer two services for owners of solar in New Jersey to sell their SRECs. Here they are:

Do-it-yourself SREC service:

This service is for those who want to create and manage their own GATS account (this is where you enter meter readings each month, mint SRECs and transfer them to buyers). Flett Exchange is used by thousands of solar owners to sell their SRECs. Similar to a stock exchange, companies compete for your SRECs so you know you get the market price.

When you sell on Flett Exchange you must transfer your SRECs on GATs to Flett Exchange. Flett Exchange pays you the same day. The fee is only $2.50 per SREC sold for homeowners.

Larger commercial arrays pay from $0 to $2.50 per SREC (You can reach out directly to us to determine your rate). With the do-it-yourself service you can sell your SRECs to anyone –not just Flett Exchange.

Flett REC-Manager SREC service:

This is our full-service SREC management program. We will handle your GATS account, enter your meter readings each month, mint your SRECs, and sell them in a block with all of our other customers. (This results in a slightly higher price because you are bundled in with thousands of other RECs).

We pay you in the middle of each month via check or ACH as long as you generate enough energy to create an SREC.
