Switching to RECmint from another SREC company
You can move your system to RECmint from another SREC aggregator, and we handle almost all of it. There are three steps. If you registered your system in PJM GATS yourself, the third one is yours to do:
We request the transfer in PJM GATS, the SREC registry.
We notify your state's SREC office, where your state has one, and send them your signed Schedule A — the PJM GATS form that lets us manage your system's SRECs. You'll have signed it when you joined RECmint. If your system is registered in more than one name — a couple who own it jointly, for example — PJM GATS needs the same number of signatures on the transfer form as on the original registration, so we may come back to you for a second signature.
The transfer gets approved. If another SREC company holds your system, they receive an authorization request and we follow up if they don't respond. If you registered the system yourself, you approve it: in PJM GATS, open Outbox → Generator Transfer → Approve Transfer. Your RECmint account stays on hold until you do.
If your state office or your current company declines the transfer, our team works to resolve it with them. Occasionally the other company won't move until you ask them directly — if that happens we'll tell you exactly what to ask for.
When we can't take a system on: we'll stop the registration if the system is under a lease or PPA, if you don't own the system or its SRECs, or if you're still inside a contract term with your current SREC company. If you're unsure which applies to you, ask us and we'll check.
SRECs your old SREC company still holds
If your previous company minted SRECs into an account they manage, those sit with them rather than in your PJM GATS account, so they won't show on your RECmint production page. Ask them to transfer any they haven't sold. As their account holder, that request has to come from you.
Leaving RECmint for another SREC company
Tell RECmint's support team in writing that you want to move your SREC aggregation to another company — we ask for 30 days' written notice if you're on our market payout option. When the new company's transfer request reaches us, we approve it.
The exception is if you're still inside a contract term with us — you're held to the terms of your agreement. Market customers have no fixed term, but we still ask for the 30 days' written notice. 3-year, 5-year and 15-year agreements can't be exited mid-term. The one exception is a change of ownership of the system — selling your home, for example. If you're on a 15-year Upfront agreement, ending it that way usually means you owe RECmint back a pro-rated portion of the payment you already received. We work out the amount and tell you what it is.
Transferring SRECs you registered yourself in GATS
If you registered your system in PJM GATS yourself and hold SRECs (solar renewable energy certificates) in your own GATS account, you can send them to RECmint.
Your system has to transfer to us as well. We don't accept SRECs on their own unless we've agreed something specific with you in advance, and we accept the SRECs once your system transfer is approved.
To send your SRECs:
Log in to your GATS account.
In the Certificates menu, click REC Transfer.
Select Another Account Holder, then find and select Sun Tribe Trading — RECmint operates under that name in GATS.
Set the transfer type to Spot Market.
Click Next at the bottom of the page.
Tick the SRECs you want to transfer.
Click Next at the bottom of the page.
Click OK to confirm your selection.
When it asks for a Default Price, enter 0. The number doesn't matter — we pay you what your RECmint contract says.
Click Go, then OK to confirm the price.
Click Next at the bottom.
Check that the transfer looks right, then press Submit.
After you submit, your SRECs sit in your GATS outbox until we accept them. That won't necessarily happen immediately, and nothing is wrong while they're waiting there.
Once we have them, how quickly they sell depends on their age: SRECs from earlier years sell less often than current-year ones and can take a few months to transact, and for the oldest we may not find a buyer at all.
