Own rooftop solar.
Get paid by the sun for 25 years.

Solar Stake pools investor capital to put solar on homes. Homeowners pay for the power. That income comes back to you every month, on-chain, for the life of the system.

DC base case. No tax credit assumed. Slide up to 16 kW for a typical Maryland roof.

How it works

Six steps, one loop. Money goes out to rooftops; electricity income comes back.

1

Investors deposit

USDC or staked ETH goes into the Solar Stake Vault.

2

The Vault buys solar

Capital funds a portfolio of home solar systems, owned by a dedicated legal entity.

3

An installer builds them

A contracted, replaceable installer builds every system at a fixed price per watt.

4

Homeowners sign a PPA

They pay only for the power the panels make, below the utility rate. No money down, nothing to maintain.

5

Income flows back

Homeowner payments and solar credits (SRECs) return to the Vault as USDC every month, for 20–25 years.

6

You get paid

Stakers receive their share of net income monthly, in USDC, straight to their wallet.

It's a real-estate fund where the buildings are solar systems and the rent is electricity.

Two tokens, two jobs

One decides the rules. The other collects the paycheck.

$SLR

The ownership token
  • Fixed supply of 100 million. Never more.
  • Holders vote on reserve targets, installer approval, PPA pricing, and which markets to enter next.
  • Surplus income buys $SLR on the open market and destroys it. Supply only shrinks.
  • Years 11–25 of every rooftop belong to the protocol, so the asset base behind the token grows over time.

$sSLR

The paycheck certificate
  • Lock $SLR for a fixed term and receive a certificate that pays your share of net solar income in USDC each month.
  • Longer term, bigger share.
  • Certificates are transferable: sell your position any time. The Vault stays funded; you're never trapped.
  • When the term ends, the certificate expires and your $SLR comes back.

Where each dollar goes

The panels get protected before the token gets a boost. Always.

Base income — homeowner payments + scheduled SREC value
Warranty & service reserveA fixed set-aside per kW. Keeps every system running and funds the mid-life inverter replacement.
$sSLR holdersEverything left is the yield, paid monthly in USDC.
Extra income — SREC upside, credits, grants, rebates
1. Warranty & service reserveFilled to target first.
2. Default reserveCovers homeowners who stop paying.
3. Buy & burn $SLROnly what overflows both reserves.

Tax credits are upside, not the plan. The base case works without them.

The numbers

First market: Washington, DC. Typical home, no tax credit assumed.

System size8 kW
Install cost at $3.25/W$26,000
Income per year (PPA + SRECs)~$5,400
Service reserve per year~$450
Net cash per year~$4,950
Gross yield on cost~19%
Payback~5 years
Years of margin after payback~20

A $5M vault funds about 190 DC homes, roughly 1.5 MW. SREC income follows DC's legislated schedule and is modeled to decline, not stay flat. Figures are projections, not guarantees.

Who owns what

Every party has one job, and the installer can be replaced.

$SLR holders vote on the rules Solar Stake Protocol vault + contracts HabSpaces, LLC Delaware · sponsor Solar Stake Assets I, LLC owns systems, PPAs, SRECs Advanced Solar installer · replaceable Homeowners buy the power govern funds owns master EPC + O&M 25-year PPA builds

HabSpaces, LLC

Sponsors the protocol and forms one SPV per vault so each portfolio is ring-fenced. SPV ownership migrates to the protocol once the DAO is live.

The SPV

Owns the hardware and the contracts for 25 years. Collects payments, converts to USDC, sends it to the Vault.

Advanced Solar

Builds and services under a fixed-price master agreement at market terms. Replaceable by governance vote.

Why this yield is different

It's real income

Electricity is the bill people pay first. The yield is what homeowners pay for power, not tokens printed to look like yield.

Assets back it

The SPV owns the panels, the contracts, and the solar credits for the full term.

Maintenance is pre-funded

Every system carries its own service reserve from day one, so nothing depends on future fundraising.

No leverage, no price bets

The protocol never borrows against the assets and never depends on the price of any token to pay you.
