About SolarCoin
What is SolarCoin?
SolarCoin is a reward for solar energy producers. The SolarCoin Foundation gives energy producers blockchain-based digital tokens at the rate of one SolarCoin (SLR) per Megawatt-Hour (MWh) of solar energy produced. SolarCoin is free. It is an additional reward for solar energy producers. It is separate from other incentives such as government subsidies or carbon credits. Whoever produces solar power may receive SolarCoin.
Think of SolarCoin like air-miles for solar electricity generation – only better, because it isn’t tied to one company.
SolarCoin is global, decentralized, and independent of any government. The distribution part of the project is designed to last 40 years. SolarCoin is spendable and tradeable just like a cryptocurrency, but focused on incentivizing real-world environmental activity: verifiably produced solar energy.
