Accelerate Your Illinois Shines Projects with ARC REC Processing

Certified Energy Equity Contractor (EEC) & Illinois Solar for All Approved Vendor (AV) to fast-track your REC payments and unlock capital early.

Most Illinois Shines developers wait up to a year for REC payouts

ARC removes that bottleneck

UNLOCK CAPITAL EARLIER

Access to cash flow shouldn’t wait for final approval.

As an Illinois Shines Energy Equity Contractor (EEC), ARC can request up to 50% of total REC value at ICC Part I approval, with another 15% released at energization. This lets developers and EPCs fund materials, labor, and overhead without waiting through long payment cycles. The result is faster project completion, healthier margins, and the ability to take on more work.
