Our project
An issued project you can verify.
We originate credits through the Nesa Solar PV Grouped Project, VCS 3659. Verra completed the project’s first issuance on 30 September 2026, for verified emissions reductions from South African commercial and industrial solar sites.
The issuance covers the monitoring period from 10 November 2021 to 31 December 2024. Validated by TÜV NORD CERT and independently verified by SustainCERT. Each new site is assessed before inclusion.
Questions
Common questions.
Has the project received credits?
Yes. Verra completed the project’s first issuance on 30 September 2026. You can view the project record and read the issuance announcement.
When do I receive revenue?
Your revenue share becomes payable after credits are sold and sale proceeds are received, under your Client Agreement. Issuance alone does not trigger payment.
Will my existing meter be suitable?
We assess it against the project’s monitoring requirements. Any installation or recalibration work and its cost are explained before you proceed.
Can I enquire about issued credits?
Yes. Tell us the volume, vintage, timing and intended use you need. We will confirm current availability, documentation and transaction terms. Enquire about issued credits
