About 1,000 new Solarcoin claims added since 11/06/2019! https://solarcoin.enapter.com/transactions?query=Agrt

Hello,
I am one of them.
I would like to understand how the SLR initial claim amount is calculated.
I have asked for through the contact form on solarcoin.org website and to support (got a ticket number) but I didn't get any feedback.
It seems no one at solarcoin.org is reading members inquiries.
So, may be someone here can help me ?

After registering my solar facility with solarcoin.org I have received the initial Solarcoin grand amount on November, 6th.
This amount is 19.33 SLR.

According to rules stated on solarcoin.org website, it should be as follow :
"The annual calculation is 365 days X 24 hrs X 15% X Your KW Nameplate Capacity/1000. This works out to 1.314 X your installed KW Nameplate Capacity. The initial SolarCoin grant is retroactive to the install date of your facility or Jan 1, 2010; whichever is more recent. Ongoing SLR grants are made every 6 months based the facility install month."

My solar installation nameplate capacity is 2.94 kWc.
The install date is April 6th, 2010. Around 9.6 years ago.
So, according to the formula, initial SLR grant amount should be around :
1.314 x 2.94 x 9.6 = 37.08 SLR
How to explain the huge discrepancy with the SLR amount I have received ?
Thank you.

Hi,

Earlier this year the "retroactive back to Jan 1 2010" was changed to "5 years back rolling", here is one of the announcements (on FB):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/solarcoin/permalink/1189937807873418/
Here is the linked post on Medium:
https://medium.com/solarcoin/claim-your-solarcoin-now-each-day-passing-could-be-a-lost-reward-67b50c8e30a5

I bet if you do the calculation according to this new rule you will get a match to what you received.

The website info has been fixed accordingly ONLY in the FAQ section:
http://solarcoin.wpengine.com/faqs/
"...Earning SolarCoins....
SolarCoins can be granted retroactive to 5 years from the date of the initial claim. If your facility is older than 5 years old, claim now. Each day missed is lost SolarCoin."

But as you correctly noticed, the Claim your SolarCoins section https://solarcoin.org/#claiming has NOT been updated accordingly, which needs to be fixed. Also the SolarCoin Policy Papers https://solarcoin.org/resources/ have NOT been updated (just checked the one in English), needs to be updated, too.

As you also provided the Transaction comment:
text:AGRT-FR-31530-13699-2.94-7960-04/06/2010-11/01/2019
it appears it has NOT been changed to reflect the new 5 years policy.

Thank you so much for noticing the discrepancy & sharing your findings with so much detail!
In appreciation of your effort I just sent you 100 SLR to your address.
