Here at Restart Energy, expansion has always been one of the core tenets upon which our company has been founded, as exemplified by our recent successful founding of Restart Energy branches across Europe, in an effort to bring clean, renewable energy to ever-more markets. This has not, however, diverted our attention away from our mission of rejuvenating the energy industry and shaping a vibrant, sustainable world where affordable energy is created and consumed by anyone, anywhere. That said, expansion is not enough — our goals require us to reach out to like-minded business partners that can help us see our aspiration come to fruition.

It is with this task in mind that we have approached SOLARA to become one of our partners, as their hope for a solar future and their aims of establishing a distributed root of trust for solar projects, empowering their owners and financiers with new capabilities, and creating rich new data sets that support a sustainable energy generative blockchain, line up with Restart Energy’s goals beautifully — to help shape the energy landscape into one that is both green and imbued with freedom of choice, by tokenizing renewable energy, and to democratize the energy sector through our RED Platform, enabling everyone to send and receive energy, worldwide.

SOLARA is a blockchain-empowered company based in Sydney, Australia. They focus on solar digital technology and validation through their Solara Hardware Modules (SHM), which employ a selection of blockchain, cryptography, and Internet of things technologies, in order to create a high-tech and secure, decentralized energy provenance record, as well as a multitude of linked services.

SHMs are integrated into solar assets, such as panels or batteries, and their sensors function as a distributed root of trust between the assets they are bonded to and their owners — this provides both green energy data, as well as ownership data; meaning that SHMs can also be employed to enable community-owned solar arrays, as one of their many uses.

Once they are integrated, SHMs act as a blockchain ‘oracle’, being able to authenticate data derived from panels, confirming the datastreams legitimacy through Merkelized implementation of zero-knowledge proofs that shield individual datasets from the wider network, thereby securing it against fraudulent practices, while not sacrificing individual’s right to privacy over their own key metrics.

The SOLARA Platform trustlessly authenticates solar PV data, through a Proof of Installation bonding event, a Proof of Existence ‘solar heartbeat’, and a Proof of Fusion energy generation output dataset, thereby tokenizing varied solar data-streams into a blockchain economy.

SOLARA’s rich datasets will lead to both more trust in solar as well as more business opportunities within the market, in turn leading to a higher renewable share in the wider energy sector. We both encourage and applaud their innovative ideas that align perfectly with Restart Energy’s wider goals, as well as their platform’s functions that complement our own, and thus we wish for them to stand by our side when we reshape tomorrow’s energy landscape through the RED Platform.

About SOLARA

SOLARA is a blockchain-based company headquartered in Sydney, Australia. SOLARA’s goal is to devise a technically-sophisticated and user-friendly, secure renewable energy network, specifically designed for P2P energy users, offering a multitude of services such as monetizing green energy or offering cryptographically enhanced security for user data.

The SOL token is essential to utilizing the benefits provided by SOLARA’s blockchain-based system and is key to the sustained success of the project. SOL token allows for registration of the Solara Hardware Modules in the ecosystem and the resulting operation & benefits.

About Restart Energy

Restart Energy Democracy (RED) is a blockchain-powered platform, backed by Restart Energy — a European energy provider with 20 million USD in revenues. The company was built with a vision to democratize the energy sector and quash the dominance of legacy monopolies in the energy world. The company’s credentials include a customer base of 27,000 household and 3,000 corporate clients, expanding at more than 2,000 clients per month (5,000 new customers in the first two months of 2018), and its impressive growth: 1700% from 2015 until today.

Restart Energy is developing the world’s first peer-to-peer, fully decentralized energy transfer platform allowing users to send and receive energy worldwide, based on its proprietary virtual balancing system, that uses A.I., Big Data, and IoT technologies. The RED ecosystem is comprised of the RED-Platform, RED-Franchise, and RED-MWAT Tokens.

The RED-Franchise is the first power retail franchise to simplify and allow any company or entrepreneur to operate their own power utility enterprise, enabling them to start selling energy in more than 35 deregulated energy markets globally.

MWAT tokens are crypto-tokens that enable the buying and selling of up to 1 MWh of electricity per month on the RED-Platform Software and will facilitate the development of affordable clean energy, through free-market practices. Upon completion of registration on the platform, an initial loyalty bonus of 0.11 kWh is applied. Producers send out monthly loyalty bonuses through the RED Loyalty System, totaling 1–5% of traded on-grid energy in exchange for access to the RED Platform.

Importantly, it should be noted that potential franchise partners will need to own (this is not a form of payment to us) a certain number of MWAT tokens, in order to qualify for our various franchise tiers — the secret to our award-winning growth as a business!
