(SLR)

SolarCoin (SLR) is a decentralized cryptocurrency project launched in 2014 with the primary mission of incentivizing the global production of solar energy. Created by the SolarCoin Foundation, the project operates as a non-governmental reward program designed to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy. It is built on the concept that solar energy production is a valuable environmental activity that should be directly rewarded to encourage further adoption. The core mechanism of the project is simple: for every one megawatt-hour (MWh) of solar energy generated and verified, the producer is eligible to receive one SolarCoin token. This incentive is provided as an additional reward on top of any existing government subsidies or income from selling electricity to the grid. The program aims to cover a period of 40 years, with the goal of incentivizing the production of nearly 100,000 terawatt-hours of solar power. Technically, SolarCoin originally utilized a Proof of Work algorithm but transitioned to a more energy-efficient Proof of Stake system to align with its environmental goals. It now uses a specialized Proof of Stake-Time mechanism, which significantly reduces the energy required to maintain the network compared to traditional blockchain models. The ledger serves as a transparent and auditable record of solar energy production worldwide. To participate, solar energy producers register their installations with the SolarCoin Foundation or through integrated partners. Verification is often handled through third-party documentation, such as Solar Renewable Energy Certificates, or through direct integration with solar inverter companies and monitoring platforms. This allows for automated claiming of rewards for both residential owners and utility-scale solar farms. The project has established partnerships with international organizations and industry leaders, including various climate coalitions and solar equipment manufacturers. By turning solar energy generation into a digital asset, SolarCoin seeks to create a global, energy-referenced currency that protects natural capital and supports the long-term sustainability of the planet. Through this model, the project aims to decrease the payback period for solar installations and increase the overall financial attractiveness of renewable energy projects across the globe.
