Title: Bitcoin Funded Solar Power Plant Post by: 510nano on April 24, 2013, 07:48:41 PM I am a solar developer.
I have been educated on the bitcoins and its future by our Chief Physicist. I want to complete a 121 kW solar farm and build another (136 kW) through bitcoin investment. The systems are located in Silicon Valley and have a revenue contract with two of the cities. What I do know is? * There is interest in the bitcoin community to support renewable energy. * This pilot can help grow awareness of bitcoin investment power. * I can use equipment trust certificates in exchange for bitcoin investments. * I can deliver monthly or quarterly payments of 8% APR or so. * I can make the financial instrument a 10 year note and callable in 5. > this will provide a hedge against bitcoin market fluctuations and two exit points, as well as the ability to trade the instruments. * I can secure the principal of the investment fairly easily. > Revenue from the project pays the interest and capitalizes the principal within the five year time frame. What I do not know is this? * Is there enough interest in the bitcoin community for a project of this nature? * How do I make those that would be interested aware of the project? * Whether I should make the certificates associated with the venture based on USD or bitcoins? * Are ETC's the correct instrument or is there another that is more comfortable? All responses are desired. |
