Large SolarCoin grant sent to South Africa. http://solarcoin.org/en/largest-solarcoin-grant-to-africa-ever-recorded/

I am curious to know how this happened, is it solarangel ? what was the approach ? is there any lessons learned ? how long did the granting process take ? What was the document asked as a proof of production ? thks

The SolarCoin Foundation performed the following Enhanced Due Diligence for one business week verifying the large South African facility:
1) Google maps visibility confirmation
2) Third party confirmation of facility and claimant - http://www.fin24.com/Economy/Major-boost-for-solar-energy-20151005
3) Review of Independent Engineer Commissioning Report
4) Review of Monitoring Portal data showing actual total electricity produced (as well as total irradiance) since the system was connected to the grid
5) Review of Official yield report, showing the realism of the actual generation profile in relation to the simulated results
6) Comparison of actual metered electricity generated to an estimate based on 20% capacity factor for South Africa
7) Affiliate Skype conversation with claimant
