What solar records will a GHG verifier ask for?
Expect to show the inverter or generation meter log for the year, the net-metering bill showing import and export, and proof you own the system or the power purchase terms. Only solar you used yourself lowers grid electricity; units exported to the grid are not your consumption.
Records
- Monthly generation from the inverter or a separate meter.
- Net-metering bills with import, export and net units.
- Ownership papers or the solar power purchase agreement.
Common gaps
Inverter portals that lost history, and bills showing only net units. Export the log every month and keep it.
What Senseible does here
Senseible keeps each figure tied to its invoice, factor and method version, so a verifier can trace any number back to the document it came from.
