by-2020/], [https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/solar-trends-2018-gtm-
research#gs.wfrw1js]
According to the team's analysis, electricity demand is growing exponentially. The
use of electricity will double over the next 20 years and increase four times over the
next 40 years.
The price of electricity is also growing every year. Over the next 15 years prices will
increase 2.5 times. Use of solar energy in electricity generation will grow from 1% to
30% over the next 20 years.
Comments: The market is showing growth, which implies an opportunity for the
project to take a market share.
Competitors
Renucoin — a platform that provides the opportunity to invest in recurrent
energy sources, including solar energy.
Astrn — a platform for co-investment in renewable energy sources.
Xiwatt — a platform for working with renewable energy sources which also
enables its users to invest.
Summary: Unlike its competitors, the project specializes just in solar energy.
SunMoney also offers users the possibility of mining SunMoney.
Engineering Features of the Platform
The platform will be built using blockchain technology and smart contracts.
Blockchain is used for transactions between users (purchase/sale of solar energy
package); moreover, all data from solar farms possessing special equipment for
monitoring their condition and performance is recorded on the chain.
Technical Description
Acourding to the team, SunMoney is an already-functioning platform. The team is
expanding it for 3rd party renewable energy power plants and for investments above
100,000 Euros. [http://sunmoney.solar/SunMoney_SMT_WhitePaper_v1_1.pdf].
SSG produces electricity at its solar power plants, located in different
countries.
This electricity is sold daily to either end users or utility companies.
Buyers pay for electricity monthly in SSG.
New members join SSG by purchasing the Solar Package; as members they
will have their own share of total production capacity based on the amount of
energy purchased in watts, and enjoy a monthly payout over 25 years.
Users can also buy SunMining packages to earn money from SunMoney crypto
mining over a period of 2 years.
Comments: The project is using technologies that have already proven themselves
in the market.
