MORE DETAILS ON RECs

What Are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

Renewable Energy Certificates (or RECs, in short) represent the environmental benefits of generating one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity from renewable sources like solar. By producing clean energy, your solar system generates RECs, which can be sold to companies to help them meet their sustainability targets. These certificates provide a way for solar system owners to maximise their investment by participating in the growing demand for clean energy solutions.

Why Sell Renewable Energy Certificates in Singapore?

Selling your Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in Singapore offers an excellent way to earn additional income while supporting the renewable energy market. REC prices fluctuate based on market conditions, giving you the opportunity to capitalise on growing demand.

There are two international registries which are recognised in Singapore. The International REC Standard (or I-REC), as well as APX (with RECs issued known as TIGR - Tradable Instrument for Global Renewables).

REC Pricing in Singapore (2025):

Small to medium solar system owners can sell RECs for S$30 to $50 per certificate, with potential earnings of SGD $500 to $1000 annually. On top of that, selling RECs earn you additional cash and does not affect your energy consumption or how much you are paid for your solar exports. Prices of I-REC or TIGR RECs in Singapore are usually similar.

Whether you’re looking to sell RECs or are interested in the renewable energy certificate price, selling RECs helps you reduce your solar investment breakeven period by 6 to 12 months.

GetSolar first piqued my interest through their tech-enabled approach. Rather than having to call multiple installers to come down for a site visit before committing to a quote, I simply selected “my” house on a google maps interface and was immediately provided an indication of how much energy solar panels could generate. This instant datapoint was swiftly followed up by an emailed proposal, customised to my property, and best of all, offered various financing options including a rent-to-own, where any potential issues during the contract period would be fully handled by GetSolar, giving peace of mind. The installation was admirably quick, and carried out by a well-oiled team who did a great job. True professionals. Everything has been super straightforward, with all paperwork to get the panel installation certified by SP Service handled by GetSolar. Overall, a great customer experience and can’t recommend Sam and her team enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

A renewable energy certificate (REC) validates and quantifies the environmental benefits of generating electricity from renewable sources. It allows individuals and businesses to claim that a portion of their electricity consumption came from renewables, which supports their efforts to promote sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint.

RECs are also used by entities to comply with regulatory requirements and voluntary standards related to renewable energy targets. Financially, RECs provide revenue for renewable energy producers, promoting investment in renewable energy projects and technologies.

Are RECs different if I am under SP Group compared to other electricity retailers?

No, RECs are the same regardless of your electricity retailer. These certificates are generated according to the amount of renewable energy produced by your solar panels and are issued by international registries such as the I-REC Standard or TIGR by APX.

Why sell Renewable Energy Certificates in Singapore?

When you sell RECs in Singapore, you unlock an extra stream of annual income. This extra cash can potentially shorten the time it takes to recoup your solar investment by approximately 6-12 months, bringing your breakeven point even closer.

The value of RECs is typically subject to market fluctuations based on supply and demand. As of early-2025, small or medium asset owners can expect to receive between S$30 to $50 for each REC sold, while prices for commercial solar owners differ based on system size. This means that the average solar homeowner can earn an extra S$500 to $800 every year!
