Massachusetts Solar Market Study (MA-SMS)

Sustainable Energy Advantage (SEA) invites you to join the 2022 Massachusetts Solar Market Study (2022 MA-SMS or MA-SMS), an in-depth study of the Massachusetts solar market. MA-SMS is a multi-client subscription service SEA has provided since 2014 which offers an in-depth study of the Massachusetts SREC I and SREC II programs.

Value Proposition:

A well-informed market view

• SEA tracks all policy, legislative, and regulatory developments in MA at a granular level, allowing us to anticipate programmatic changes and model possible futures, risks, and their implications.
• Detailed modeling of SREC supply, leveraging near-real-time NASA data to predict generation prior to SREC minting and in-depth analysis of in-practice degradation.
• What would you have done differently if you had foreseen the potential impacts of retail supplier bankruptcies, change in SREC 1 qualification rules, how COVID impacted demand, etc.?

Independent, objective market analysis

• SEA has access to a wide range of market participants.
• Ability to assess trends, common practices and characteristics of the market at an aggregate level that individual market participants generally can’t see.
• SEA is not captive to any sector or trading in SREC or REC markets → no rose-colored glasses – perhaps the independent analyses your organization has been looking for to confirm or amend your own internal market view

We do it more cost-effectively, allowing you to better focus limited resources

• By spreading the costs we are able to go much deeper and yield insights you want at a price you can afford.
• Enhance your effectiveness, focus on what you do best!
• Access to SEA staff to clarify issues and compare market views
