In SolarShare’s latest AMA, Felix hosted CEO William Campbell and COO Eigirdas Zilinskas for a deep dive into the project’s current status, earning model, risk protection and roadmap. Below is a structured recap with the most important questions and clear, complete answers for potential investors.
We’ve grouped the most relevant questions and answers into key categories for anyone considering investing in tokenized solar infrastructure.
The Investment Model
- How does investing in SolarShare work?
You buy Solar NFTs on the SolarShare website, which represent fractional ownership in real solar panels. You can pay with crypto, stablecoins, or credit cards.
- What is the minimum investment?
The minimum investment is around $100, the price of one NFT.
- What returns can I expect?
You earn up to 18% APY, paid monthly in USDT or USDC.
- How are returns paid out?
All payouts are automated via audited smart contracts, requiring no manual action.
- Is staking required?
No, but staking $SOLAR tokens equal to 30% of your NFT's value lets you earn the full 18% in stablecoins.
- What happens if I don’t stake?
You earn 50% in stablecoins and 50% in $SOLAR, which is auto-staked for you.
Security, Trust & Transparency
- What makes this a secure investment?
SolarShare uses insured solar farms, warrantied equipment, and 24/7 video surveillance. All rewards are handled via audited smart contracts.
- How can I verify that the farms are real and active?
You can view live camera feeds and production data on-chain via the SolarShare dashboard.
- How do I know if my earnings are correct?
Returns are displayed clearly and transparently within your dashboard, and energy production is tracked from inverters to the blockchain.
- Are returns affected by the crypto market?
No. Returns depend only on solar energy output, not on token prices or market cycles.
Real-World Energy Operations
- What happens to the energy that is produced?
It is sold to the Brazilian grid through SolarShare’s energy association, powering homes and businesses.
- Why was Brazil chosen as the starting location?
Brazil offers one of the highest solar irradiance in the world, low land and labor costs and strong local knowledge from the team.
- How is land selected for solar farms?
Farms are built on barren, non-arable land, minimizing environmental impact and avoiding agricultural disruption.
Growth & Roadmap
- How many farms are currently active?
Three farms are already live, producing 48,000 kWh per month and generating over $70,000 in yearly revenue.
- What milestones are next?
- June 4: NFT Store Launch
- July 1: $SOLAR Token TGE
- Expansion to megawatt-scale farms
- Long-term goal: 10MW+ capacity and entry into wind energy
- Will SolarShare expand beyond Brazil?
Yes, international expansion is planned as operations scale.
Additional Revenue Streams & Utilities
- Will SolarShare generate carbon credits?
Yes. Carbon credit sales are part of the roadmap and could significantly boost overall investor returns.
- What’s the benefit of tokenization in this model?
Tokenization enables fractional ownership, global access, and automated distribution, making solar investing more scalable and inclusive.
Accessibility for All Investors
- Is this project suitable for non-crypto users?
Yes. A simplified Web2 store is being built, enabling purchases via credit cards without the need for wallets or technical setup.
- Are there educational tools for new users?
