Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in Singapore

With GetSolar, you can buy or sell Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in Singapore easily— whether you're a solar system owner looking to monetise clean energy or a business looking to meet sustainability targets. Optimise your solar asset, meet ESG goals, or unlock new revenue streams as we handle the process end to end.

What Are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent the environmental value of clean electricity. Every 1 MWh of solar energy generated equals 1 REC. Businesses aiming to meet sustainability goals purchase RECs from solar system owners — helping to reduce emissions, support Singapore's green efforts, and enhance the financial returns of going solar. RECs allow solar panel system owners to earn more from clean energy without affecting their solar savings.

Why Sell Renewable Energy Certificates in Singapore?

Selling your Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) is a smart way to generate additional income from your solar system, while supporting the global shift to clean energy.

REC prices vary based on market demand, which means you have the opportunity to capitalise on rising interest in sustainable energy sourcing.

In Singapore, there are two internationally recognised REC registries:
1. I-REC (International REC Standard) |2. TIGR (Tradable Instrument for Global Renewables)
issued via APX. Both platforms allow solar system owners to certify and sell their RECs with confidence and traceability.

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 there any requirements to fulfil in order to sell RECs?

In order to sell RECs generated by your solar system, you’l need to register and verify your solar assets with international REC registries. You can reach out to us via WhatsApp or email [email protected] and our team would be happy to help you with the process and unlock this additional stream of revenue for you today!

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!

Reach out to the GetSolar team on WhatsApp or email us at [email protected] to find out more!

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.
