Accelerate Your Illinois Shines Projects with ARC REC Processing

Unlock cash flow faster. Our certified EEC and ILSFA AV team typically completes REC processing in 8 to 9 months, helping you reinvest sooner.

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

ARC removes that bottleneck

Speed & Priority Access

ARC is an EEC, giving our partners access to dedicated REC funding blocks and faster payment timelines.
Typical payout within 6–9 months

50% of REC value paid at ICC Part 1 approval
15% at system energization
Typical payout within 6-8 months

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.
