Using Blockchain Technology as a Crowdfunding Tool for Solar Renewable Energy Development: Introducing the Solarenergycoin Cryptocurrency

The energy industry is a cornerstone of economic development, characterized by high market penetration, substantial capital requirements, and attractive returns on investment. Over ۳۰% of the final price of manufactured goods is directly linked to energy consumption during production. In Iran, where energy security is paramount, financing large-scale energy projects remains a critical challenge. Traditional financing mechanisms, such as bank loans, struggle with liquidity constraints, inflationary pressures, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. Crowdfunding models—particularly those leveraging blockchain technology—offer a decentralized alternative to mobilize domestic and international micro-investments. This study proposes Solarenergycoin, a blockchain-based cryptocurrency designed to crowdfund $۹۰ million for constructing ۱۸۰ MW of solar power plants. By utilizing distributed ledger technology (DLT), smart contracts, and tokenized assets, the model reduces investment risks, ensures transparency, and bypasses sanctions-related financial barriers. Economic simulations indicate a ۲۲% internal rate of return (IRR) over an ۸-year period, with token value appreciation mechanisms to stabilize market volatility.
