New Meter Requirements
To generate SRECs, generators must install an approved revenue-grade meter (RGM) for their solar electric PV system. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities adopted rules requiring a revenue-grade meter to be installed by November 30, 2012.
- Credits are earned based on readings obtained from an RGM measuring the system output.
- The accuracy of an inverter meter does not meet the ANSI C12.1-2008 accuracy standards required by the NJCEP and therefore cannot be used for the purpose of generating SRECs.
If you are unsure whether your system has a qualifying meter, check with your installer or the NJ Clean Energy Program before registering on GATs.
