The Sun Exchange (“Sun Exchange”) is a blockchain based solar panel micro-leasing marketplace. It has been built to accelerate the global transition to solar energy. Sun Exchange is a post seed-stage Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, backed by two venture capital funds, Network Society Ventures and Kalon Venture Partners, and three leading international business accelerators. Through the Sun Exchange online platform (www.thesunexchange.com), anyone with an internet connection can purchase solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and lease them to businesses, hospitals, schools and other organisations located in the sunniest regions of the planet. Solar cell owners receive lease rental payments, paid optionally in fiat or cryptocurrency, while offtakers enjoy the benefits of affordable clean energy. Sun Exchange has over 4,000 registered members (many of whom became first-time bitcoin users upon signing up) located in over 70 countries and an ever-growing fleet of operating solar power plants that are developed, built and maintained by an international network of solar installation companies.
