Renewable Energy Certificates (REC's) are an electronic form of currency calculated for the emission offset created by the equipment.
Every solar system (PV and hot water) and wind system attracts REC's. The number of REC's given are based on location and capacity or efficiency, depending on the particular equipment.
Each certificate has a tradable dollar value. The value varies according to supply and demand, as well as general market pressures. Available to be traded direct or given as a point-of-sale discount at time of purchase.
Solar hot water systems are assessed for individual efficiency and each model is given a number of certificates.
Solar power systems (grid and saps) are based on rated capacity, location and period (1, 5 or 15 year's value).
REC's can be traded direct by the customer (owner of the system) or we can provide a point-of-sale discount and then claim the funds back after installation of your equipment.
