Residential RECs: Market Update & Your Options

At Rezeca, we believe in keeping our customers informed about important market changes — especially when it relates to your solar investment.

We’d like to provide an update on the current status of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) linked to residential solar systems.

📉 Recent Market Trends

Over the past few years, RECs — particularly those generated by residential-scale solar systems — have gained value as more organisations pursued sustainability goals. However, since late 2024, we’ve observed a significant softening in the REC market, both globally and regionally.

This is due to several factors, including:

  • A slowdown in corporate demand for small-scale RECs

  • An oversupply of RECs in the market

  • The administrative complexity of aggregating and managing residential RECs

As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to find traders or platforms willing to take in residential RECs at commercially meaningful prices.

💡 What We’re Doing

We’ve been actively submitting your RECs for bids and working with our trading partners to explore opportunities. However, we have not been successful in monetising residential RECs in the current market environment.

We will continue monitoring the market and, if a buyer is found, we will proceed to sell the RECs and credit you based on the prevailing market price at the time of sale.

✉️ What You Can Do

If you are comfortable with this arrangement, you do not need to take any action — we will retain and manage your RECs on your behalf.

However, if you wish to:

  • Terminate your REC contract with us, or

  • Transfer your RECs to another platform or trader of your choice,

you are welcome to do so. Please contact us at recs@rezeca.com, and our team will assist you with the necessary steps.

☀️ The Bigger Picture

RECs have always been a virtual add-on benefit to your solar system. The core value of your system lies in its ability to:

  • Lower your electricity bills

  • Reduce your carbon footprint

  • Contribute directly to a more sustainable environment

We remain committed to supporting you throughout your solar journey and thank you for your continued trust.
