One of the advantages of solar energy is that it is growing in popularity so quickly. Soon, people who have invested in this energy source may be able to cash in using a new form of crypto-currency that is very similar to Bitcoins.

The company behind this initiative checks up on each homeowner to verify their usage of solar power, and then it rewards them with SolarCoins. This new form of currency can be used online in the same way that Bitcoins are used, but the process of earning the currency is much more simplified. Business owners can get in on the benefits of this new form of money, as well, which could make investing in solar power that much more attractive to homeowners and business owners alike.

The real motivation behind this idea is to reward people who invest in renewable resources. Instead of just realizing the savings that come with solar power, people can profit from their earth-friendly decisions.

One of the additional benefits of this program is that it can continue to incentivize solar energy even if utility companies make further moves to protect their bottom lines by assessing fees for people who use solar power. These fees are designed to protect profits, but may discourage homeowners. SolarCoins could make the decision to switch to solar more attractive even if heftier fees are assessed for solar power usage.

The advantages of solar energy continue to grow, and for those people who are already using solar panels, SolarCoins offer a great reward for sustainable energy practices.
