FAQ

Solar NFTs represent ownership of a specific solar panel within a fully constructed solar farm. The NFT collection is always tied to a unique solar project. Each project varies in size, price, value, and energy output. By acquiring a Solar NFT, you gain legal ownership of a physical solar panel and are entitled to the potential revenue generated from the energy produced by your panel.

Owning a Solar NFT isn’t just a purchase—it’s a powerful step toward a greener future. Each NFT represents a real solar panel under 🇨🇭 swiss law, directly supporting renewable energy production while offering potential monthly rewards in $VET from electricity sales. As a bonus, you’ll receive weekly $B3TR airdrops, rewarding your commitment to sustainability and showcasing the impact of regenerative finance. With your Solar NFT, you’re not only helping reduce carbon emissions but also joining a global movement driving clean energy innovation. Make your mark on the future. Own a Solar NFT today and turn sunlight into sustainability and rewards!

When you purchase a Solar NFT from SolarWise, you gain full legal ownership of the solar panel it represents, secured under Swiss law 🇨🇭. This real-world ownership is validated by the applicable VAT, confirming that you're acquiring a tangible asset with all associated rights. If desired, you can even have your solar panel shipped to you—though construction and transport costs will apply.

Once construction is complete, connecting to the grid—managed by COPEL—typically takes around 3 months. This is a standard timeline and depends on the local utility, not us. As always, electricity contracts are signed before the NFT sale, and once energy sales begin, the first payout is made by the end of that month / beginning of the following month.

A Sun Ticket is like a concert ticket—it gives you early access to a one-time event, in this case, the exclusive 24-hour whitelist sale for SolarWise Solar Panel NFTs. It does not represent ownership of a solar panel, is not a down payment, and is not an investment. It's simply your reservation pass to secure the right to purchase one NFT before the public. Each Sun Ticket costs $75, payable in $B3TR, $VET, $VTHO, or $USDGLO through our DApp. Tickets are released in 4 stages, and each ticket allows you to buy 1 Solar Panel NFT during the early access sale. If you don’t use your ticket within the 24-hour window, the NFT becomes available to the public—and your ticket expires. 🎟️ Just like a concert ticket, you can resell your Sun Ticket on marketplaces like MaaS—but only before the whitelist sale opens. 🛑 Reminder: A Sun Ticket is not the NFT itself. It only gives you the option to buy one during the whitelist phase.

Each solar farm has its own unique Solar NFT collection, directly tied to the specific panels at that location. Collections vary in location, locations currency, price points, energy production estimates, and equipment, reflecting the unique characteristics of each project. These differences ensure that each Solar NFT accurately represents the value and performance of its corresponding solar panel.

Yes, SolarWise deducts 30% of the monthly energy sales revenue to cover essential costs such as insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other operational expenses. This ensures your solar panel remains in optimal condition and continues to generate energy efficiently, while also covering compliance and administrative needs. The remaining potential revenue, offering up to 10.5% APR (depending on the Farm) at the highest staking tier, is distributed as potential rewards to Solar NFT holders. This amount may vary depending on factors like farms, weather and energy production. Please note, the potential 10.5% APR excludes the B3TR sustainability bonus, which is an additional reward distributed separately to support our eco-conscious mission.

B3TR allocations and airdrops began shortly after our first NFT sale and continue on a weekly basis, rewarding NFT holders for their contributions to renewable energy and sustainability.
