Great to see all this positive news! It looks like things are going to start moving much more rapidly. With large energy companies willing to accept SLR as a payment, it gives a lot of legitimacy to the project. I think things will snowball from here, as we can already see with growing interest from the energy sector.
I think if it wasn't for all the FUD going on in the markets right the value would be rising fast. This is a good opportunity for people to enter the market during the January sales.
Think about all the Bitcoin that can jump in at any time. The great thing about Solarcoin is that it has a complete value at inception. 1MWH Per 1 SLR where Bitcoin measures itself on expenditure of energy to create value. Now imagine that when Bitcoin gets manipulated to 100K and up it will be able to boost SLR exponentially as people leverage into a greener chain. This will happen. People will look for a haven. One that can act like a currency instead of a manipulated crazy roller coaster. So take a Wholesale MWH and then recapture the loss of energy of Bitcoin entropy inside SLR and power the world.
Ideally a Solar Manufacturer should be accepting SLR at the Wholesale market of 1MWH for their old panels. This would propel the price to at least a median price point close enough to now fund purchases of new solar panels and allows acceptance at face value for new panels. That alone reimburses the Manufacturer as it holds the price to their old stock at the median. There has got to be a company with the glut of old panels and the guts to pull this off!
