Dow Solar, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company ( DOW ), and Sol Systems have partnered to provide turnkey solar renewable energy credit (SREC) solutions for DOW POWERHOUSE Solar Shingles customers.

Sol Systems will offer the customers of Dow Solar with the opportunity to enter into SREC contracts. Sol Systems provide access to its proprietary SREC management tool and register the systems with the necessary state and regulatory bodies, track meter readings, and handle all SREC customer service inquiries, thereby removing the administrative burden of monetizing SRECs for its customers and partners. In this way, Dow Solar's customers can improve the financial return on their solar investment.

Sol Systems is the largest SREC aggregator and financier in the U.S. and offers SREC financing solutions to customers in 13 states throughout the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. The solutions will be provided to the customers of Dow Solar in Md., Mass., and Washington, D.C.
