Did you know you can earn money while producing solar energy?

SMA inverters allow photovoltaic producers to receive one SolarCoin for each megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean energy generated.

It is another reason to invest in solar self-consumption and turn your photovoltaic system into an additional source of value.

What is SolarCoin?

SolarCoin, also known as “solar currency”, is a sustainable cryptocurrency created to encourage solar energy production.

Each SolarCoin represents 1 MWh of electricity produced by solar panels. The more energy you generate, the more SolarCoins you accumulate.

The goal is simple: reward those who invest in clean energy and help accelerate the global energy transition.

How does it work with SMA inverters?

If you have an SMA inverter, you can connect your system to the SolarCoin programme through Sunny Portal, the brand’s official platform.

The process is fully digital and free. After registration, your system starts automatically accumulating SolarCoins whenever it produces energy.

How to claim your SolarCoins

  1. Access Sunny Portal and log in with your SMA account.
  2. Register your photovoltaic system in the SolarCoin programme.
  3. Go to Data Settings > PV System Properties > Data Publication.
  4. Click Edit and select the option Consent to participate in the SolarCoin programme.
  5. Accept the terms and conditions and click Save.

The SolarCoin block will appear in your system overview, showing the accumulated coins.

There is no need to create a digital wallet. The SolarCoin Foundation manages wallets until the user decides to redeem the accumulated value.

Advantages of the SolarCoin programme

  • Additional revenue for each MWh produced;
  • Incentive for clean energy production;
  • Stronger sustainability and environmental responsibility;
  • Automatic integration with SMA inverters through Sunny Portal;
  • Global recognition, with presence in more than 70 countries.
