Solar Bankers team to visit Puerto Rico for negotiations with VALCOR
http://solarbankers.com/2017/08/08/solar-bankers-team-to-visit-puerto-rico-for-negotiations-with-valcor

The Solar Bankers team has been invited to Puerto Rico by VALCOR to discuss possibilities for a partnership. VALCOR is a large Puerto Rican manufacturer of architectural aluminium and glass. In the 1980s, the company designed the first window with integrated alarm and security fence.

VALCOR and Solar Bankers hope to work together on a number of projects. The two companies plan to apply Solar Bankers’ light-management technology to glass facades and other glass building components. Such an application would improve the heat insulation of buildings with large glass components and would even allow them to generate electricity with their facades. VALCOR and Solar Bankers will discuss possibilities for the launch of a production facility for the application. In addition, the two companies will discuss the potential installation of a solar park with a capacity of 20MW using Solar Bankers’ hologram-based module design.

The Solar Bankers team was already commissioned by VALCOR to complete a feasibility study and a market report on Puerto Rico.

Solar Bankers kicks off its pilot project with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority
http://solarbankers.com/2017/08/07/solar-bankers-kicks-off-its-pilot-project-with-the-dubai-electricity-and-water-authority/?preview_id=2759&preview_nonce=177e96047f&_thumbnail_id=2758&preview=true

Two weeks ago, the Solar Bankers team travelled to Dubai to kick off the pilot project it is conducting with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to test Solar Bankers’ core technology. The team spent three days (21-24 July) speaking to leading scientists from DEWA to discuss the scheduling for the project, testing and measurement techniques, as well as the location of the land assigned for the project.

Solar Bankers is delivering its hologram-based solar concentrator module to DEWA for performance testing in a high-temperature environment. In April, Solar Bankers was selected to participate in the Dubai Future Accelerators program (www.dubaifutureaccelerators.com/en) and spent 9 weeks working closely with other developers of emergent technologies from around the globe. At the end of the program, Solar Bankers signed a contract with DEWA for a test pilot in Dubai.

In addition to Solar Bankers’ patented refractive foil, the modules to be tested with DEWA feature a smart tracking system which makes use of a circular pivot to minimize the amount of moving elements required for adjusting module positions. This has particular benefits in desert environments, where dust and sand dispersed in the air quickly accumulate in the joints between moving parts and thus substantially reduce the durability of the tracking system. Solar Bankers is partnering with Mulk Holdings for the integration of the smart tracking system in its panel design.

In June, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) published an exciting article about our CTO, Carlo Maragliano, who is an alumnus of Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi, outlining the project. Read it again here: http://www.wam.org.ae/ar/details/1395302618804. Solar Bankers will be working closely with the Head of R&D in Solar Energy and Additive Manufacturing at DEWA, Marco Stefancich, another former Masdar scholar. ‘We are excited to work with Solar Bankers and we are looking forward to testing their technology in our facilities’ said Dr. Stefancich.

The Solar Bankers team was also invited by the Dubai Cryptocurrencies Club and Blockchain Technology Meetup to hold a presentation about the company’s experience with crypto-financing. Jane Zhang, the CEO of our Chinese partners ShellPay, joined the presentation via Skype.

Solar Bankers signs contract with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority

In April of this year, Solar Bankers was awarded a contract with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) for a pilot project to test its core technology. It is one of only three companies selected by DEWA from the 2017 cycle of the Dubai Future Accelerators (DFA) for a partnership that seeks to “provide innovation to transform the utility company’s business model.” Solar Bankers had previously gained admission to this year’s cycle of the DFA – the world’s largest government-backed accelerator program for developers of emergent technologies – and spent 9 weeks in February and March working closely with technology startups from all around the world.

Launched in 2016 under a personal directive from the Sheikh of Dubai and his son the Crown Prince, the DFA states that its intensive 9-week programs seek to bring together “the world’s most exciting technology companies with leading government organisations to create transformational solutions.” As part of this initiative, the government of Dubai has decided to support Solar Bankers in further developing its core technology – a highly efficient solar module based on the company’s patented nano-structured, light-managing foil. The pilot project with DEWA will last around six months and will involve a series of performance tests in the area’s high-temperature environment following the installation of Solar Bankers’ modules. Solar Bankers’ technology is of special interest to solar energy production in high-temperature environments because its nano-structured foil prevents efficiency-reducing panel overheating by deflecting shorter wavelengths of light away from the active converter.

The partnership between DEWA and Solar Bankers was inaugurated in April with an official signing attended by the Crown Prince of Dubai, Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum. Solar Banker’s CTO, Dr. Carlo Maragliano, signed the contract with DEWA on behalf of the company. As a former PhD student at Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi, he has extensive experience in the Middle Eastern solar energy market, helping a range of innovations make their way from the lab to the factory floor and authoring or co-authoring over 10 research papers in the field of optics.

Carlo’s participation in the DFA and the signing with DEWA have garnered the praise of his former colleagues and mentors at Masdar. Dr. Behjat Al Yousuf, Interim Provost of Masdar, was quoted by the institute’s news service as stating that Masdar is “very proud of Dr. Maragliano for his role in the selection of Solar Bankers for the 2017 cycle of the DFA. Dr. Maragliano embodies MI’s human capital development goal through his efforts to build on the solar technology expertise he developed during his doctorate studies at MI to become a technology innovator who is working to bring innovation to the UAE.”

Solar Bankers’ Initial Coin Offering

The solar energy company Solar Bankers Singapore is launching an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to raise funds for the development of a revolutionary system of localized energy communities in which consumers can freely produce and trade electricity. Solar Bankers Singapore is known for having developed and patented a series of innovative photovoltaic solutions, including a hologram-based film that filters and concentrates incoming sunlight to make solar panels more efficient and less expensive.

Solar Bankers is now working with the Chinese blockchain technology company, ShellPay, to promote the wholesale decentralization of all infrastructures for electricity production, transmission, and exchange. The partnership plans to make the generation and distribution of energy greener and more efficient by supplying households with Solar Bankers’ cutting-edge PV devices and connecting them in a system of local micro-grids. Solar Bankers envisions that this decentralized system, which it calls “SunChain”, will allow consumers to both produce their own green electricity and sell any excess at competitive prices to their neighbors in local marketplaces. While owners of devices will benefit from an additional source of income, reduced transportation costs will allow passive consumers to benefit from more affordable electricity. In addition, transactions will be managed by a system of smart contracts based on an improved blockchain platform developed by ShellPay, making large bureaucratic intermediaries obsolete.

Solar Bankers’ current ICO project seeks to finance initial grid developments in China. The company has now launched a major marketing campaign for the pre-ICO phase of its fundraiser, during which it is offering 18 million of its “SunCoin” at the price of 5040 Satoshis. For the actual ICO later this year, the company is successively selling four tranches of around 24 million tokens at increasing prices. The first tranche will be sold at 21,600 Satoshis, the second at 25,925 Satoshis, the third at 31,112 Satoshis, and the fourth at 36,000 Satoshis. Of the total volume of 300 million SunCoins created, 97 million will be issued through the ICO, with the rest being held by Solar Bankers and ShellPay as a liquidity guarantee to investors in the production of the PV devices. The ICO will be run in cooperation with Lykke, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Switzerland, which will also subsequently act as the main market-maker in the public trading of SunCoin from early 2018 onwards.

Solar Bankers claims that SunCoin offers a unique set of entrepreneurial opportunities for buyers to make use of independently, which provide the token with a high degree of intrinsic value by comparison to other cryptocurrencies. In addition to being tradable at Lykke and various other exchanges, SunCoin allows owners to buy Solar Bankers’ devices at a discounted price and will act as the main exchange medium in the localized energy communities of the SunChain. The value of the coin can thus be seen as representing a right of participation in local energy marketplaces, which sets it apart from other current crypto-financing projects.
