REC - Renewable Energy Certificate

REC & How it works?

  • Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism is a market based instrument to promote renewable energy and facilitate compliance of Renewable purchase obligations (RPO)
  • Places an obligation on electricity supply companies to produce/consume a specified fraction of their electricity consumption from renewable energy sources
  • REC mechanism is aimed at addressing the mismatch between availability of RE resources in state and the requirement of the obligated entities to meet the renewable purchase obligation (RPO)
  • Solar RECs are issued to eligible entities for generation of electricity based on solar as renewable energy source.
  • REC would be exchanged only in the CERC approved power exchanges IEX and PXIL
  • Floor Price varies between Rs 9.30 to Rs. 13.40 per unit

Scope of REC & RPOs

RPO Status: - FY 2007 - 08
StateRPO TargetRPO Met
Maharashtra4%3%
Gujarat2%2%
Karnataka10%11.5%
Tamil Nadu10%11%
Punjab1%0.74%
Haryana4%0%
Madhya Pradesh10%0.07%
There is a Huge scope for REC trading in coming years

Know the difference between Perc, TOPCon and Heterojunction technology (HJT)....

Solar panel manufacturing technology has come a long way over the years & there have been significant advancements recently with the introduction of mono PERC, Topcon and mainly Heterojunction technology (HJT) technology. These new technologies have led to improvements in solar module efficiency, durability and overall high performance so making them a more viable and cost-effective option for solar PV power generation. Colleagues, Let us know each  solar PV module  technology and understand the differences. 👉💥About PERC Technology : PERC stands for Passivated Emitter & Rear Cell. The PERC solar cell has a presence of a passivation layer at the back side of the cell which helps to minimize recombination losses and increase light absorption.  The key role of the rear-side passivation layer is to reflect light that passes through the silicon cell without being absorbed back into the silicon. By reflecting this light, the passivation layer gives the solar cell seco...

From solar to pump hydro storage - Budget 2024 is for India’s energy transformation.

Lobelsolar -  Energy transition remain a key focus area for the government with solar, nuclear and pump hydro storage getting a policy push with industry experts saying it will provide a major fillip to the capacity addition in the renewables sector. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana launched in January this year to install rooftop solar plants to enable 1 crore households obtain free electricity up to 300 units every month has received an overwhelming response with more than 1.28 crore registrations and 14 lakh applications. Details showed that the government allocated Rs 8,500.35 crore to solar power (grid), showing a rise of nearly 79% against the revised estimates of the Budget 2023-2024. With an objective to further boost the renewable sector, the government in Union Budget 2024 allocated Rs 19,100 crore to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy against Rs 12,850 crore allocated in the Interim Budget in February. The revised esti...

Guide to Choose the Right Inverter (Ksolare) for Your Rooftop Power Project.

As you know the sun graces your rooftop with its abundant energy, the decision to harness solar power through a  rooftop solar PV project  is an empowering choice. However, navigating the world of solar technology can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to selecting the right inverter. Inverter’s Role: At the heart of your rooftop solar system is the inverter which is a crucial component that transforms the direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar modules into the alternating current (AC) used to power your home. First that AC power use by your appliances and load than excess remain goes to grid which export and excess need of load comes with synchronize with GEB import grid to fulfill your needs. Types of Inverters: Before delving into the selection process, let’s explore the common types of inverters available for rooftop solar systems: String Inverters:  (Most preferable,  budget-friendly  & lager system)...
