🏪 Marketplace & Networks

The Solar Standard provides the monetary base. Marketplaces and Networks bring it to life. Through REC/PPA energy markets, compute allocation, and Z Private Networks, Solar tokens circulate through the real economy — powering communities, computation, and innovation.

⚡ Energy Redemption via REC & PPA

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) form the bridge between symbolic Solar tokens and physical energy flows. Holders can use Solar tokens to:

• • 🪙 Redeem for real electricity at participating generators, microgrids, or retailers.
• • 🌿 Retire RECs to claim environmental benefits and support renewable expansion.
• • 🔄 Trade REC/PPA contracts in Solar-denominated markets, connecting generators with consumers directly.

This mechanism transforms Solar tokens into a liquid energy currency, enabling communities and institutions to fund, acquire, or offset renewable energy without relying on fiat intermediaries.

🧠 Computronium: Directing Compute with Solar

Beyond energy, Solar tokens can be allocated to computronium — the global fabric of computing power that drives AI, scientific research, and digital infrastructure. Through Solar-denominated marketplaces, individuals and institutions can:

• • 🚀 Direct AI training and model deployment toward chosen goals.
• • 🧬 Support scientific computing and open research through compute allocations.
• • 💡 Incentivize infrastructure — edge, cloud, and on-prem systems — powered by Solar energy.

Computronium allocation turns Solar tokens into directional economic votes, letting humanity collectively decide where energy and compute flow. This is not centralized planning — it is decentralized, programmable intention at planetary scale.

🏙️ Z Private Networks: Local Economies, Global Standard

Communities, venues, and organizations can commission their own Z Private Networks — localized Solar marketplaces built on the global reserve. Examples include:

• • 🏟️ Stadiums and festivals running internal Solar economies for power, tickets, and experiences.
• • 🏫 Campuses and cities funding local microgrids and compute infrastructure through Solar flows.
• • 🧑‍💻 Industrial and data facilities balancing energy loads with Solar-backed PPAs and AI resource allocation.

Each Z Private Network operates independently but remains interoperable with the global Solar Standard. This allows local economies to thrive, while preserving a planetary unit of account.
