Does Tesla no longer let you keep the TREC?

[gangubai]

Hi Everyone, I just kick started the process of getting solar panels with TESLA. During my initial discussion I told them that I would like to keep the TRECs but my project advisor told me that TESLA is not longer offering that choice. He says the policy was changed as recently as this month. This came as a surprise to me. Is there anyone in this sub who was able to keep the TRECs recently?

What's TRECs?

 

[gangubai]

TREC is the replacement for SREC (Board of Public Utilities | Newsroom<br />& Public Notices)

I find that title clickbait worthy, since not every state even has TRECs

Subscription seems like a decent deal, for 50 bucks a month, how much lower is your bill?

$75-90 Really depends on your roof location though. You can check if it's available here https://www.tesla.com/energy/design

If you buy the panels I believe that you always get the TREC. - does anyone know if that is correct? But in California there is no benefit from that.

When we bought our system two years ago, the contract indicated we would get the RECs for the first 10 years. After that, Tesla gets them.

 

[NorCalSlrUser]

Page 18 of the CPUC solarguide booklet that each installer in California must give the homeowners:

¨If you purchase a solar system, you own the rights to these RECs and can make the claim that you’re producing clean energy and avoiding emissions of greenhouse gases by going solar. However, if you enter a lease or PPA, the contract may state that the solar provider or someone else owns the RECs.¨

It is a moot point since in California you cannot trade them.

TRECs are only in NJ. I started my order in September and I was given an offer of $8K for the TRECs. I declined and will probably receive over $15K over the 15 year period. Who knows what the political future will bring. For those who don't know, the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) of NJ pays you for generating renewable energy. Your utility provider takes credit for this.

I am looking into Tesla solar, so are they still allowing you to decline their TREC offer?
