Before signing the VEEC assignment form, the consumer holds the right to a given number of VEECs but does not hold the VEECs themselves. Only an accredited business can bring VEECs into existence by creating them, and to do that, it needs the consumer to assign the rights to those VEECs over to it after an installation has taken place. Assigning the right to the VEECs to the accredited business is what the consumer does in exchange for the benefit or discount the business is offering.
If you’re concerned about getting the most out of the value of VEECs, speak to a range of participating businesses and find out what sort of incentives are available.
