SolarCoin is the lowest carbon currency, the largest environmental monitoring experiment, and the largest private renewable energy project in the world. The currency is granted as an incentive to solar producers, functioning as both a digital asset and a solar power production reward. A white paper released by the SolarCoin Foundation calls upon governments, international organizations, NGOs and the solar industry to help “accelerate the global energy transition to a sustainable, renewable energy-based economy.”<ref>[https://solarcoin.org/en/news/solarcoin_launches_government_policy_paper-call_to_action SolarCoin launches Government Policy Paper - Call to Action] {{!}} SolarCoin.</ref><ref>[https://solarcoin.org/sites/default/files/slr-news/2018-01/SolarCoin_Policy_Paper_FINAL.pdf SolarCoin: A Blockchain-based Solar Energy Incentive.

As a reward for renewable solar energy, SolarCoin is earned at the rate of 1 § (SLR) per MWh, with 97,500 terawatt-hours of generation to be distributed over the next 35 years following annual growth projections for solar energy production. This figure places the value of SolarCoin's total market supply in the number three position behind cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ripple.<ref name="MarketCap"></ref>

SolarCoin has been formally recognized by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), establishing it as the world's first cryptocurrency to be recognized by an international intergovernmental organisation.<ref>[https://steemit.com/solarcoin/@bonapartegodard/solarcoin-has-just-been-added-to-irena-it-s-officially-the-first-crypto-currency-to-be-recognized-by-an-international-inter SolarCoin has just been added to IRENA].

ElectriCChain.org (Accessed 2018-03-01).</ref> The program's initial focus is to monitor open solar energy generation data from the seven million and growing solar generators installed worldwide. ElectriCChain was launched at an MIT press conference in 2016, since forging alliances with NASA, Accenture, IBM, the Microsoft/Ethereum BaaS Platform, Xerox PARC, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others.<ref name=":022">[https://steemit.com/money/@lpninja/we-have-just-created-the-first-node-on-electricchain-or-the-energy-internet We created the first node on ElectriCChain, the "Energy Internet"]</ref><ref name=":032">[http://news.coincap.io/2016/08/featured-asset-profile-solarcoin Asset Profile: Solarcoin].

===United Nations===
In April 2018 SolarCoin and ElectriCChain partnered with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in a project to distribute SolarCoin to solar energy producers, starting with a UN-backed SolarFund in the state of Moldova. 

To date, the project has granted more than 16 TWh of solar power across 85 countries—the equivalent energy consumed by 16 million US households in a month—well over enough to power the city of Amsterdam and its residents for a full year.<ref>[http://www.electricchain.org/affiliates-thesunexchange-electricchain-launch-joint-project-with-undp/ Affiliates Sun Exchange and ElectriCChain launch joint project with UNDP].
