Yes. You can resubmit a previous unsuccessful bid to a future procurement. If you log in with the same email you used to create the previous bid, you will not need to reenter the system information. Please contact the SREC Delaware team if you are having any issues re-submitting your previous bid to a procurement.
You can submit a bid before installing a revenue grade meter. However, systems will need to have a revenue grade meter installed once they’ve won a contract.
All facilities winning contracts must have a revenue grade meter installed prior to delivering any SRECs under the contract.
No, you can submit a bid before receiving interconnection approval. Systems without a DE certification number must provide the required bid deposit. Accepted systems have one year after the procurement closes to complete their projects.
Yes. Systems will be paid based on their DE labor and equipment status throughout the term of the contract.
Each year the Delaware Public Service Commission (PSC) must approve Delmarva Power and Light’s (DPL) filing for the procurement. The Delaware PSC must approve the filing before the SREC Delaware team can announce the procurement. The Delaware Renewable Energy Taskforce has been legislatively assigned to review and recommend changes to the design of the procurements. Each year they review the results of the procurement and incorporate any lessons learned into the next procurement. This review process begins immediately after the procurement is complete with public meetings running for several months afterward, eventually leading to the next year’s filing. A similar process can be anticipated going forward.
SREC stands for Solar Renewable Energy Credit. One SREC is created when a solar generator creates 1 MWh (1,000 kWh) of electricity. As a participant in the SREC Delaware Program you will create SRECs by submitting your solar meter reading each month to the SREC Delaware Administrator. These meter readings will be submitted online through the SREC Delaware online portal. You can submit your meter reading anytime between the 1st and the 15th of the month. SRECs are generated and sold separately from the actual electricity produced by your solar facility. The number of SRECs produced is not affected by net metering or the amount of electricity used on-site.
SREC Delaware participants enter readings from the previous month between the 1st and the 15th of each month. If the new reading creates a new SREC, that SREC is minted by PJM-GATS on the last day of the month. The SREC Delaware Program Administrator initiates the sale of the newly created SRECs at the beginning of the following month, and payment is typically authorized by the end of that month. In general participants will receive payment for SRECs generated two months after the SREC is generated. Any pending payments will be listed on the Summary page of your SREC Delaware account after the SREC Delaware Program Administrator initiates the sale of SRECs at the beginning of each month.
We have posted detailed instructions on how to enter meter readings.
All SREC payments through the SREC Delaware program are made by direct deposit. We do not issue any paper checks. View instructions on how to enter your payment information.
The SREC Delaware site is protected by a 128 bit SSL security certificate and all account transactions are conducted using an SSL secured connection with data stored in an encrypted database. You can verify that a proper SSL connection has been established by looking for the lock indicator before the “portal.srecdelaware.com” in the URL section of your browser bar. This indicates that you are connected to the legitimate SREC Delaware website run by InClime on behalf of the Delaware Sustainable Energy Utility, and that your data is encrypted before being sent over the internet.
If you look at your account summary page you might see additional SRECs available for sale. These additional SRECs are outside of your contract commitment through the SREC Delaware Program. There are two main reasons you may have SRECs in this category. The first is if you created SRECs prior to the start of your contract. Any SRECs created before the start of your contract will not be sold through the SREC Delaware program. The second reason you may have additional SRECs is if your system created more SRECs than your contract required. The SEU will always purchase an additional 10% of your SRECs on top of your required SRECs but is not obligated to purchase anything over the additional 10%.
Any additional SRECs which are outside of contract commitment can be sold by the system owner however they would like. Once you secure a buyer for these SRECs please send us an email to customerservice@srecdelaware.com letting us know you would like us to transfer these SRECs for you. In the email please include the following information:
- Facility name
- Location
- Date of SREC generation
- SREC quantity
- SREC buyers GATS account
We will be able to transfer the SRECs for you with 1-2 days.
The procurement contracts are assignable and the seller can assign the contract to the new homeowner by filling out and signing the necessary assignment forms. View our detailed ownership change instructions here.

Any facility with a Delaware certification number that meets the criteria for at least one of the current solicitation’s tiers may participate. Please see our Procurements page for information on the requirements of a given procurement.
Delaware certification numbers ratify a system’s eligibility for the Delaware market and are issued by the Delaware Public Service Commission (PSC).
A typical Delaware certification number uses the following formats:
- Without Delaware parts and labor = DE-#####-SUN-00
- Only Delaware parts = DE-#####-SUN-P0
- Only Delaware labor = DE-#####-SUN-0W
- Both Delaware parts and labor = DE-#####-SUN-PW
Facilities installed before 2010 will not have a “P” or “W” designation unless they have applied to the Delaware Public Service Commission for a revision. Facilities without a “P” or “W” designation will need to add “00” to the end of their certification numbers.
Only one bid can be entered for all the systems on a given parcel. If several systems have already been built on a parcel, they should all be bid as a single system.
Yes. Any system with a DE certification number can participate.
Yes, however all systems applying for the SREC Delaware Procurement program must have a Delaware certification number for their solar array or obtain a Delaware certification once the array is built.
Any host facility with a leased solar array must ensure that they own the rights to the SRECs generated by the solar facility before bidding. Winning bidders are responsible for providing SRECs for the entire contract term, which may be longer than the term of the lease. Bidders must confirm their ability to fulfill the contract term prior to bidding.
There is a bid deposit requirement of $100/kw for bids that do not have a Delaware PSC certification number by the time the procurement window closes. All systems must be completed within one year of the procurement or be subject to forfeiture of this bid deposit. There is no requirement to demonstrate site control for any bid, however bidders run the risk of losing their bid deposit if they bid on a speculative project that is not completed within this one-year limit.
The winning bids in all tiers are determined by bid price. There is no bidding advantage gained by entering a bid early in bidding window. However, we encourage you to enter your bid as early as possible since that will give us time to identify and work with you to correct any errors or omissions. If your application requires a bid deposit, the bid deposit is due by 5:00 PM EST on the final day of the procurement window.
Bid deposits for applications are due by 5:00 PM EST on the last day of the bidding window. Please see our Procurements page for information on the bidding window.
All applications are competitively bid. Contracts are awarded to lowest bidders, ranked by bid price. The Delaware Parts and Labor bonuses are not factored in when ranking the applications by bid price.
In the following scenario there is only room for two contracts, but three facilities have bid.
- Facility A bids $30/SREC without Delaware parts and labor.
- Facility B bids $42/SREC with Delaware labor, and without Delaware parts.
- Facility C bids $45/SREC without Delaware parts and labor.
Facility A is awarded a contract of $30/SREC and is paid $30/SREC during the bid price period of the contract. Facility B is awarded a contract of $42/SREC and is paid $46.20/SREC for the bid price period of the contract because it has a 10% Delaware Labor bonus. Facility C is not awarded a contract.
Please see our Procurements page for more information on the contract length, bid price period, and administratively set price period. These details differ between solicitations.
All applications initially show 75% complete when submitted by the applicant. The application will update to show 100% complete after the SREC Delaware staff has verified that the application is complete and that any necessary bid deposits have been received and credited. Bid deposits are required for facilities that do not yet have Delaware certification number.
Contracts include a period paid at the bid price, followed by a period paid at an administratively set price. During both periods the customer will receive the Delaware Parts and/or Labor bonus on top of the bid price or admin price. Please see our Procurements page for more information on the contract length, bid price period, and administratively set price period. These details differ between solicitations.
