Will you be financing future farms, or does this only include existing farms?


For the time being, we are working with either newly operational or existing solar farms. Once we have a community of investors, a lot of doors will open in terms of the kinds of financings we'll be able to accommodate.

For the time being, we want to keep our investors our of construction risk and tell a super simple story through our design. More to come though.


It's a cool idea. I like it.

A product I'd jump at is if you pay me back in electron volts end-to-end, wherever I am. Is that feasible? Say I live in an apartment block. I really want to go solar, but have no roof or land. I'll pay you to erect and manage 1kW of panels out on the farm for me and I get back, say 750W (you skim 25%). But I get it through my utility company (it just comes off my bill).


I'd say that we are like Community Solar (what you described) but more portable. We combine aspects of stock equity with aspects of community solar. A different model, but one that can exist in symbiosis with Community.
