The clean energy your sites generate carries environmental value that companies buy to meet their climate targets. Popular Power takes care of registering qualifying sites, issuing I-RECs and selling them, so that value flows back to your business.
An International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) is the proof that one megawatt-hour of electricity came from a renewable source. Each certificate carries a unique ID in a global registry, so it can be sold and claimed only once.
Certificates are issued against metered generation, so your output sets your volume.
A registry records who owns each certificate until a buyer retires it against their consumption, which prevents double counting.
Companies use I-RECs to report renewable electricity under the GHG Protocol market-based Scope 2 method and toward RE100 commitments.
We gather basic site information and connect securely to your generation data.
We validate monthly production data against registry requirements.
We register your devices and request issuance of your certificates.
We sell your certificates on your behalf.
Revenue from each sale flows back to you.
I-RECs add income to your O&M and PPA revenue, using the generation data already flowing into Popular Power.
We group systems under 250 kW so commercial rooftops and small portfolios can earn certificates alongside larger projects.
You can usually earn certificates for up to a year of past generation. Registering now protects the months that are still within that window.
Enter your installed capacity and location to estimate your annual certificate volume and revenue.
Companies with renewable energy targets, including multinationals reporting Scope 2 emissions, buy I-RECs to match their electricity use with verified renewable generation.
Most customers receive their first payment about three to six months after signing up, depending on registration timelines and when certificates are sold. After that, payments arrive every six months.
Anyone with eligible sites can sign up, whether or not they use the Popular Power platform. We gather basic information about each site and connect securely to its generation data, so your I-RECs are issued on a consistent schedule.
Yes, in most markets. Companies buy I-RECs voluntarily when they need verifiable proof of renewable electricity for their sustainability reporting.
I-REC prices are set by supply and demand, and they vary by country, generation year and technology. The calculator above uses the current market price for your country and shows what you could receive net to you.
Our team will review your portfolio and walk you through registration, timelines and expected revenue.
