Government agencies, utilities and interested parties that are using SRCC certifications and ratings

SRCC implements programs and national rating standards for solar energy equipment. These programs and ratings allow government agencies, utility companies, and interested organizations a means of ensuring that solar products used in their programs are certified and rated. The SRCC certification programs also provide a rational basis for tax credit and rebate qualifying regulation as well as a means for setting codes and standards.

As the use of SRCC certification grows, SRCC strives to keep a running list of the locations where one or more of the certification programs are required for the installation of a system or for payment of incentives (tax credit, rebate, etc.). In order to keep this list updated, we request that you contact SRCC as you learn of additional locations or can fill in details of each location's specific requirements.

Currently, the following states, organizations and utility companies are requiring that SRCC certified products be used in their solar programs. This list is current as of January 2006. (Please note that OG-100 pertains to the collector certification and rating program, while OG-300 pertains to the system certification and rating program.)
