Problem
Solar owners often receive little or no compensation for excess electricity they feed back into the grid, and the process of certifying and selling Traceable Renewable Energy Certificates (TRECs) is complex, requiring manual reporting and hardware installations.
Solution
DCarbon offers a turn-key, cloud-based platform that automates the certification, aggregation, and sale of TRECs generated by residential and commercial solar systems. The service integrates directly with utility meter data, eliminating the need for additional hardware or manual reporting. Certified TRECs are sold to renewable energy buyers, and the resulting revenue is shared with the solar owners on a quarterly basis. The platform provides transparent earnings dashboards and handles all regulatory interactions with authorities such as WREGIS. Participation is free for solar owners, with DCarbon earning a revenue share from each certificate sold.
