What we manage.
We assess the site and credit rights, prepare project documentation, coordinate monitoring and independent verification, and arrange the sale of issued credits. Your agreement sets out responsibilities, costs and revenue sharing.
When revenue is paid.
Your revenue share becomes payable after credits are sold and sale proceeds are received, under your Client Agreement. We provide a settlement statement showing the relevant volumes, sale proceeds, deductions and your share.
Our next submission
Our current intake focuses on grid-connected commercial and industrial solar sites in South Africa commissioned on or after 1 January 2025. We assess each site's eligibility, metering, generation evidence and carbon credit rights.
Our next commercial intake closes on 30 November 2026. Contact us before the deadline to confirm the assessment and documentation required for your site. Inclusion remains subject to eligibility and complete project documentation.
