Beyond the ITC: Using TRECs to Drive Profitable Solar in 2025 and Beyond
Are you a California solar pro: contractor, EPC, installer, roofer, electrician, O&M tech, or sales rep looking for the next edge in a post-ITC world? Join us for a fast-paced session on how Tradable Renewable Energy Certificates (TRECs) are becoming the go-to incentive for lowering levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and boosting project ROI without hardware requirements, and complicated state policies.
Why Attend?
Immediate Economics: See the simple math of dropping LCOE from $0.03 → $0.02 per kWh—a 30 % cut that helps you win bids.
Future-Proof Revenue: Learn why commercial arrays can add $1,000’s+ per year in TREC revenue right away, with upside if market prices rise.

Deal Anatomy: real-world case: a 500 kW commercial roof earns 700+ RECs/yr; at $15/REC that’s >$10K extra cash and a 15 % IRR lift.
Proposal Upgrades: show prospects a drop in LCOE by 30% and a path to near-zero energy cost as TREC prices climb.
Portfolio Mining: how to reopen the conversation with thousands of past installs for maintenance, cleaning, EV charger add-ons, or panel upgrades, bundled with new TREC income.
Platform Demo: see how DCarbon automates tracking, verification, and quarterly cash payouts so you can focus on installs, not paperwork.
