Thanks for your interest in the project.
Unfortunately, nothing in crypto is 'guaranteed' - look at the recent price of Bitcoin, for example. However, SolarStake offer properly backed investments - via a 1:1 token:installed watts assets (hardware), 25 year government contracts and an ownership stake in a Solar Energy Utility startup. We believe this provides substantial protection for your investment.
I thought to provide a little more information on things which you will want to consider.
Here’s a high level breakdown of numbers:
1 token = $1 = 1 W
Each share in Helios = $0.50, so there are two shares purchased for every $
There will always be, using $1000 as a nice round figure, 1800 tokens minted. This won’t fluctuate.
Token value protectionBetween us, the team have gone in on tens of ICO, so we’re aware that prices can be quite volatile at times. What we’ve done, especially for earlier investors, is build in two mechanisms to protect your USD value
1. The bonus. Pre-sale phase one and two have a 50% and 40% bonus, respectively. So you will get either 1500 or 1400 tokens for your $1000. (The bonuses decrease phase by phase). Note that for phase one, this already brings your token price down to $0.75.
2. The “All investors” pool. As the bonus tokens for the investors drop by phase, these tokens are applied to the all investors pool. These tokens are distributed to whitelisted wallets – in simple terms, it means you get a share of all investments made, after you have made your own. Again, this contributes to a lower dollar cost average.
The referral pool/scheme is another mechanism where you can gain value.
For every $1000 invested (again, nice round number), there are 150 referral scheme tokens.
If you refer people, you will get 100 tokens for each $1000 invested. Each of the referred people get 50 tokens.
So there’s three ways to bring your effective token price down. Given the potentially substantial payouts from the "All investors" pool throughout the ITO, you could very well end up paying ~$0.50 for your tokens, which gives you instant protection should the token dip a little post ITO. We expect, once the project starts proving it is delivering very much on target for or ahead of projections, the desire to increase ones holdings will generate very positive price action.
ReinvestmentOnce the funded wattage is installed, these are backed by 25 year PPA with the EGAT (Energy Generating Authority of Thailand). The revenue from this (minus costs) is what is reinvested. All figures are based upon existing solar installations Helios have.
Selling tokens (ties up with token price protection)
We will, following the 6 main phases, look to list on exchanges, which will allow investors to buy/sell. The more we raise, the bigger the exchanges we can list on.
ROI/Revenues/WHEN MOON (etc)There's two main angles on this:
1. The ROI. The increased Watts installed = tokens created. They're spread out around investors.
The idea would be (although there is no lock in - you can move them around whenever you like) you leave your tokens long term - no stress, just wait for the monthly payout as we install new power. Just make sure you have them in your whitelisted wallet on snapshot day.
We're hoping the value of the tokens is driven higher (although not critical, initially) by:
2. The ownership stake in Helios.
They’ve signed MoI and MoU with for a huge deal to install a turnkey operation in Uzbekistan for I believe it is 360MW (we'll be doing a full marketing piece on this one soon). This will bring in a lot of revenues and increase future share value.
There's a bunch of other projects they've been approached for, too.
Their goal, which is on their investment brochure on
https://heliosenergy.info/ is to go for IPO in approx 5 years.
Because we will initially be getting in at Series A, we will be getting on board where the share price multiples at IPO will be massive.
Every new deal, project and revenue stream has the potential to drive the future share price higher. It’s in investor’s interests to hold a nice slap, long term. This is what we believe will keep the value of the token up - as more news/projects about Helios come through, there is a distinct advantage in not dumping tokens.
The model is so clean and simple
Additional information – Helios, from Q3, will be manufacturing their own panels, which brings the cost per installed KW down to a price that is cheaper than even ordering 10MW from China. This means we know the 1800 tokens generated is very conservative and we should be able to comfortably beat the ROI projections.
Target investorsThis isn’t a moon shot, but a comfortable space cruise, gathering pace as we go (lol). It’s hands off, not something to waste time staring at the charts – you’ve better things to do with your time 😊 We're looking at the more 'serious', medium - long term kind of investor. The returns will work out to be substantial, but this will take time, as the returns are based on real business, real hardware, real contracts and real revenues. Not your usual crypto "ideas" that often turn out to be nothing.
We're pretty sure this is unique with:
Asset backed
25 year PPAs
Ownership stake
