Claiming your SolarCoins on Sunny Portal
[May 27, 2021 – Update SolarCoin Migration]: After a successful move, SolarCoin Foundation’s SolarCoins are now available on the Energy Web Foundation (EWF) blockchain. We will report on the most important changes here on the blog in a timely manner. Sunny Portal users who have not yet provided a wallet ID can continue to use the SolarCoins without restrictions. Please note the following: When applying for SolarCoins via Sunny Portal, no valid wallet ID from the new blockchain can be specified, as the corresponding field must remain empty.
[June 28, 2019 update: SolarCoin now also available for WebBox systems]: Operators and owners of PV plants connected via Webconnect, Sunny Home Manager or Sunny WebBox to Sunny Portal can now get an additional reward for their produced clean energy. With only a few clicks you get access to SolarCoin, the first energy-referenced currency.
What is SolarCoin?
SolarCoin, a blockchain-based crypto currency, was developed with a view to accelerating the energy transition. Like the networks for other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, the SolarCoin network is global and decentralized. In this case, however, the payout of SolarCoins is linked to a meaningful, cost-effective and environmentally friendly incentive: the generation of solar power.
SolarCoin is an open community project that was initiated in 2014 by founders of the SolarCoin Foundation and a group of volunteers. The SolarCoin Foundation rewards solar power generation by issuing blockchain-based digital tokens. One SolarCoin (SLR) is issued for each megawatt hour (MWh) of verified solar power production.
The SolarCoin reward is an additional bonus to existing incentive programs and is independent of other feed-in tariffs in place for solar power producers. Anyone who generates solar power and, as a result, avoids generating CO2 emissions in the long run can earn SolarCoins.
How can SolarCoins be claimed through Sunny Portal?
Through Sunny Portal it’s incredibly easy to claim your SolarCoins because you don’t need to submit all the documentation typically required for registration to provide evidence of the PV system’s ownership status, technical data, power generation capacity and identity. If you have one or more PV systems with a system capacity of up to 150 kWp registered in Sunny Portal and want to claim SolarCoins, just log in to www.sunnyportal.com/en with your e-mail address and password. To register your PV system for the SolarCoin program, you need admin rights for your system. If you don’t have them yet, please ask your installer.
Once you are logged-in, open “PV system properties” in the “configuration” part of the menu on the left side of your screen. To ensure the Foundation can perform data matching, please provide your complete system data. In some countries, the field “Country code” is somewhat confusing. It must also be filled in, so please enter for example the state, your district, department or country. On the next screen go to the tab “Data releases” to the right:
On the “Data releases” page, click the “Edit” button to change the settings and then check the “Consent to participate in the SolarCoin program” box:
Agree to the terms and conditions displayed and don’t forget to click on the “Save” button afterwards:
Now, the SolarCoin tile will appear in your PV system overview. After the status on the tile shows “SolarCoinApproved”, it might still take some time until you receive your first SolarCoins as the SolarCoin Foundation will need time to complete transfer of the coins. After that, your credit balance will be updated at regular intervals (depending on the size of the system the interval can be several months). If you register your system via Sunny Portal, you don´t need to register the system separately with the SolarCoin Foundation or the SolarCoin Explorer. Duplicate registration will prevent you from participating in the SolarCoin program.
A digital SolarCoin “wallet” is no longer required to submit a claim. The SolarCoin Foundation will manage users’ SolarCoins until they decide to redeem them.
By the way: SolarCoins are awarded retroactively for up to five years from the date of registration. Since April 2019, the interval for crediting your SolarCoins has been shortened from every six month to monthly. Get the current SolarCoin price here.
How can SolarCoins be used?
SolarCoins can be traded for conventional (fiat) currency on all major exchange portals. SolarCoins are an increasingly liquid valuable that can be paid out and tracked transparently. They are kept in digital wallets, can be managed on computers or mobile devices and can even be stored offline in paper form (paper wallet). The SolarCoin community is constantly evaluating use cases and business models for SolarCoin users.
If the project is successful and the demand for and price of SolarCoins rises, the digital incentive will increasingly represent an ever more significant share of a solar power producer’s revenues. Solar power can be sold or used as normal, with SolarCoin acting as an added bonus.
Solar industry companies are also encouraged to accept SolarCoins as a means of payment for their goods and services at the current exchange rate, which is listed on all well-known portals. At SMA, we are also exploring possibilities to make further use of SolarCoins, for example by providing additional services that can be paid for using SolarCoins.
Does the creation of SolarCoins use a lot of energy?
If users decide to use SolarCoins as a means of payment, they are making a conscious effort to prioritize environmental protection as the basis of their business activities. The SolarCoin blockchain uses an energy-efficient, proof-of-stake algorithm, which consumes 0.001% of the energy required by Bitcoin.
If you want to find out more about SolarCoin please contact: support@solarcoin.org
Hi,
I understood that with the new portal we can no longer get SolarCoin.
Did try to get them but I still have 0 and the status: SolarCoinApproved.
But I can no longer access the settings to add a wallet to the portal. And in the new portal it is also not showing the setting.
Thank you in advance, Evert
Hi,
I want to transfer the SolarCoin I already have from my Sunny Portal custodial account to my own Metamask wallet. How can I do this?
After the transfer I will fill in my Metamask wallet id in Sunny Portal so that future coins will automatically be added to my wallet.
Thank you!
Hello Jan,
There are some changes after the migration of SolarCoin.
Please follow the steps described here.
In case you need any further assistance, please get back to us.

Christiane
Hi, thank you for your reply.
I am not really sure I understand how to proceed.
If I logon to my SunnyPortal I see that I currently have 10,955 SLR. In the configuration of the Data releases I have not specified a wallet ID at this time. So I assume these 10,955 SLR are currently stored on an SMA Sunny Portal custodial account.
I have now setup a Metamask wallet for the EnergyWebChain.
So, my question is, how can I transfer the 10,955 SLR from the SMA custodial account to my Metamask wallet?
Thank you.
regards,
Jan
Hello Jan,
Normally, the wallet is entered in the portal settings. As no entry was presumably made in the case described, the Foundation holds a “custodial account”. SMA is not involved here in any way. If the wallet is entered, a benchmark notification is sent to the Solarcoin server, which should then carry out the transfer after some time. Please contact the Foundation directly for further clarification.
Sunny regards

merhaba bende solar coin geçiş yapmak istedim . Metamask cüzdan oluşturdum . SMA sayfasında SLR ”Statü: SolarCoinPending ” bu şekilde yazıyor hiç hareket yok . Acaba yanlış bir kimlik mi ekledim yardımcı olurmusunuz. Günlük enerji üretimim 210 KW…
Hallo Ahmet,
die Meldung „Solarcoin pending“ ist vollkommen normal: Nachdem ein „Claim“ gestellt wurde und bei der Solarcoin Foundation eingegangen ist, bleibt der Zustand solange „pending“, bis die Prüfung durch die Solarcoin-Foundation abgeschlossen ist. Nach erfolgreicher Prüfung erhältst du die Meldung „SolarCoin approved“.
Mehr zur Migration der SolarCoins und den Änderungen gibt’s hier im Beitrag.

Hi SMA,
I have had a SolarCoin wallet active since 2017, however I had not added the wallet ID to my SunnyPortal account until today. I was aware of a few coins which had accumulated in my wallet. At present, the SolarCoins tile on SunnyPortal shows 0.0000 SLR. Is this normal and some is needed for updating of the wallet? Or has something got reset in some way and I now have no coins left in my wallet?
Regards,
Tiasha
Hello Tiasha,
Please note that due to the migration of SolarCoin some changes have occured.
You will find more information here.

Hello,
I have the SolarCoin tile available and have been generating coins for some time already. How can I now move the coins to a wallet or exchange to be able to use my coins? Right now all I have is the tile in the portal with the number of coins.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Hello Jasper,
have you already checked this article and followed it’s steps? There you find contacts for further help, if needed also.

Please, help me,
I want to join solarcoin project but I’m not able.
Solarcoin support doesn’t answer me and I’m still not able to get active the option in the Sunny Portal section, if not reported a wallet ID it doesn’t activate.
I’ve an account on Binance platform, but they tell me that solar coin is not available there, is that true?
If yes, how can then get a wallet to manage that crypto and to be able to manage the subscription in Sunny Portal?
My plant is installed in Italy.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards.

Sehr geehrte Frau Keim,
ich beziehe mich auf meinen Post vom 07.05.21 auf den Sie freundlicherweise geantwortet haben. Bis heute – nach etwa einem Jahr – sehe ich keinen einzigen SolarCoin auf meinen mittlerweile zwei Anlagen (installiert Feb./März ’21), obwohl der Status bei beiden “SolarCoinApproved” besteht. Gehen Sie davon aus, dass dies immer noch mit der Migration zusammenhängt, oder gehen Sie von einer anderen Ursache aus? Vielen Dank.
Den ursprüngliche Post habe ich nochmals kopiert.
Viele Grüße,

Hallo,
ich habe meine Anlage Anfang Februar 2021 in Betrieb genommen und alsbald den SolarCoin “classic” eingerichtet und die Wallet ID in der Konfiguration hinterlegt. Der Status steht auf “approved” (bisher) habe ich bei rd 3.000KWh noch keinen SolarCoin erhalten. Kürzlich habe ich gelernt das eine Migration von SCC zu Ethereum basierten Wallets/Coins vollzogen wurde. Diese Migration habe ich erfolgreich durchgeführt und verwalte das ganze wie empfohlen mit Metamask. Nun meine Frage:
Muss ich die Wallet ID in der Datenfreigabe der Konfiguration im Portal ebenfalls anpassen, damit die Coins gutgeschrieben werden, oder bleibt die vorherige ID erhalten? Mir scheint die ID ist nicht änderbar.
Vielen Dank und Grüße,
Olaf Davidsmeyer

Hallo Herr Davidsmeyer,
wenn die Migration erfolgreich und wie in den Anleitungen beschrieben durchgeführt wurde, besteht kein weiterer Handlungsbedarf.
Die walletID im Portal soll nicht geändert werden. Durch die Migration haben sich auch die „Überweisungen“ von Solarcoins verzögert.
Außerdem gibt es aktuell noch Anzeigeprobleme im Sunny Portal, die nicht durch SMA behoben werden können.
Die erforderlichen Anpassungen werden noch umgesetzt und dann sollte auch im Sunny Portal der richtige „Kontostand“ wieder angezeigt werden.
Beste Grüße
C. Keim”
Sehr geehrter Herr Davidsmeyer,
nach eingehender Prüfung können wir von unserer Seite leider nichts Weiteres für Sie tun. Es ist in der Tat sehr merkwürdig, dass Ihr Status bereits auf „approved“ steht. Bitte wenden Sie sich damit am besten direkt per Mail an den Solarcoin-Support: support@solarcoin.org.
Sonnige Grüße!
Hi,
I tried different ways to activate my solarcoin wallet.
Created a new one on metamask, but it keeps getting rejected.
I assume because I tried different wallets for the same plant.
I have send a request via mail to them, but now for 2 weeks, still no answer.
Do you know how long it takes for them to respond normally?
Thx for helping out.
Dave
Hello Dave,
Due to the migration, it may take some time before you get a feedback from SolarCoin.

Hello Christiane,
since 2019 I am earning SLR and I see my coins growing in the SunnyPortal.
Now I heard that the SLR has switched the block chain and I created a metamask wallet (according to the instruction of the solarcoin page.
But when I try to add my wallet ID to the sunny portal, I get the same error message “Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (InternalServerError)”.
And another wallet ID remain in the field.
Not I have three questions.
1. Are my coins in the sunny portal or in this old wallet ID?
2. How can I register my new wallet ID?
3. I created a new claim on the solarcoin page. Does this conflict with the sunny portal?
I am located in Germany.
Best regards
Benjamin

Dear,
When entering my Wallet address, I receive the error “Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (InternalServerError)”. How should I proceed?

Hello Seb V,
We were able to clarify this error directly with the SolarCoin Foundation.
The Solarcoin Foundation made all necessary corrections.
So it should work out now, please try again and verify whether all of your additional entries are correct.

Hi Christiane,
I tried again but I’m still getting the same error message.
“Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (InternalServerError)”
Would it be linked to the fact I previously agreed on data exchange with my old wallet id (the one on solarcoin blockchain) ?
Thanks

Hi Christiane,
I just retried today and worked ! 🙂
Many thanks for your help.

I have been signed up for a while now, about a year I think. My PV System Overview had been showing I had accumulated approximately 81 SLR. My SolarCoin Wallet never showed anything. I’m not sure if this number of SLR Sunny Portal shows, is actually transmitted to my wallet or not? In the last few days I went through the migration process per their directions. I have now converted my wallet and it’s still not showing my SLR. SolarCoin support said sometimes the balance does not get automatically migrated. Since I never saw my balance in the SolarCoin wallet, I’m not sure if SMA ever credited my wallet. I have checked my Wallet address with my Sunny Portal and everything matches. I have not changed my Sunny Portal settings at all, I read the old wallet will still credit my earnings to the new wallet after I convert. Today, looking at my Sunny Portal Overview I see my Solar Coin section is now blank. My SLR is no longer there? Is that because I migrated my wallet? Can something please explain what’s going on with this program? Thanks!
Hello George,
We need more technical information for further support.
For that reason, we will contact you directly.

Because of the migration from the solarcoin blockchain to the EWF blockchain I tried to update my wallet address in the Sunny Portal (in the data releases section). I propably unsubscribed and tried to fill in my new wallet ID (Wallet public address), but this fails saying : ” Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (ValidationError)” I get the same error when I leave the wallet ID empty. Please advise.
Hello Jan,
There are different reasons for this, which in the broadest sense are related to interface problems between the systems of SMA and Solarcoin. We are currently working on a joint solution and therefore ask you for a little patience – thank you!
Sunny regards
Christiane
Ok, thanks for getting back to me. Jan
Hi Christine,
From some months my portal says Status: SolarCoinApproved. However I have the balance of 0 despite my panels were able to produce some number of MWh of energy. I have not registered anywhere except providing my ETH wallet number in the sunnyportal settings page. When can I see some solarcoins on my sunnyportal page or in my ETH wallet 🙂 ETH is expenmsive now so would be nice 🙂
Hello Konrad,
Due to the migration, the “transfers” had been delayed during the transition period.
In addition, the “Account balances” were not displayed in Sunny Portal in some cases. These restrictions should no longer occur as the adjustments have been made.
So therefore everything should work out fine after you have registered successfully.
Sunny regards
Christiane
Christine,
In that case something is wrong. I have not registered anywhere except approving data transfers on sunnyportal. I’ve understood from main page here I should not worry about registering on the SolarCoin foundation. My status says SolarCoin Approved. So not sure what can be wrong? My balance still shows 0 and I have not received any coins.
Hello Konrad,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Do problems described still occur? Just to make sure that there are no misunderstandings: Have you registered to participate in the SolarCoin program? That’s different to approve data transfer on sunynyportal.
Sunny regards
Christiane
Hello, I am contacting you concerning the Claim SolarCoin program, integrated in the SMA products. After the migration to the Energy Chain ETH, the data enable form of SMA Sunny Portal does not accept the new Wallet. I have contacted SMA Service, but they have not resolved my case. Request number 406036462.
Thank you and have a nice day
Hello Mirko,
Sorry for getting back to you delayed.
The error message described seems to be also based on the changeover and is due to the changed format of the Wallet ID. If the “old” wallet ID is still displayed, but you can see the correct account balance, there is no need for a change. The display will be changed as part of further adjustments and should soon show the correct ID.
Hopefully this delayed feedback was helpful 😉

I am in the US, I used to have my SMA portal working (before migration). I removed my wallet a while ago and was waiting till the backend work on SMA was done. When I add my my new Meta Mask walled ID into SMA I get this message “Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (ValidationError)” Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Hello,
I am signed up for more than 9 months now and still do not see any Solarcoin in my wallet.
What do I need to do to see my Solarcoin Balance in my wallet?
(I am trying it with the new Ethereum based wallet as well as the old fashioned SC Wallet (v 2.1.8.0)
Hello Sven,
May be the problems are caused by doing the registration twice.
SMA has done all necessary steps to solve problems regarding the balance of the SolarCoins caused by the migration.
Please try again using only the new Ethereum based wallet.
Otherwise please get back again.

My SolarCoins are missing. Normally I should have 57 coins…. The counter was for a long time on 47 coins…. For more then 6 months no coins have been added…Then suddely it showed 7 coins (so 40 coins have been removed) …. Now it shows 15,125 coins… So I miss +- 42 coins
Hello Marc,
Due to the migration to the new blockchain, it may be that transitionally the information was not correct.
In the meantime, SMA has made all necessary adjustments for this point. Please check the account balance and the required information again.

Hello. When I try to add my client to the SolarCoin program, the checkbox (page Data releases) is grayed out.
I also find a message in red “In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand.”.
The location is correctly indicated with its postal adress and its gps coordinates. I don’t know what else I can add.
Hello Per,
Please check whether you have filled in the field “country code” as described in the second paragraph.
It must also be filled in.
So please enter for example the state, your district, department or country.

Thank you Christine, it was the State field missing. We don’t use State to identify an adress or a property in France so I left it blank. I now filled it in with the name of our region and it works. Cheers !

I have had a SMA inverter 6.5 KW system running since July last year and applied to get solar coin in Dec/ Jan this year….
To date I have nor had any solar coin and ant emails sent to SMA/ Solar coin have fallen on deaf ears …!!!!
The Solar coin indicator on my SMA screen has show Status as ” SendingError “, and has since it appeared.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix this and why has it not been fixed previously …???
Does any one actually look at emails sent indicating problems with Solar Coin ..??????
Hello John,
Please check whether all steps of the registration have been carried out.
Furthermore there are some delays occuring at the moment due to the migrations process started recently.
For that reason, please leave the Wallet-ID field empty.
Later on you will be able to provide your ERC20 Wallet from Metamask or any other wallet software. Be aware that the processing any claims at SolarFoundation will take longer than usual due to the migration process.
Thanks for understanding.
Kind regards

Hi I have joined the Solar coin scheme a couple of years ago and my Solar wallet show that I have some solar coins.. However it has not been updated since the first figure was displayed.Even though I am generating 4000 kWh a year my solar coin is still the same. 36.360 solar coins
Hello Michael,
It usually takes some time after registration before you get your first SolarCoins as the SolarCoin Foundation needs some time for the realization.
But as there is no change in your plant for a very long time period, please contact the SolarCoin-Foundation directly: support@solarcoin.org

I have problem that I cant even create my SolarCoin Wallet. I am using Windows but when I try to download wallet (from official page) nothing happens. Its really frustrating. I would appreciate any help.
Hello Mladen,
the digital SolarCoin “wallet” is no longer necessary to submit a claim. The SolarCoin Foundation will manage users’ SolarCoins until they decide to redeem them.

Hello, I have a solar plant since 2019 with SMA iversor. Since then I have tried several times to get my solar coins but I get stuck in the section where it says: “Write here the ID of your wallet if you have one”. I have purses for other coins (the addresses start with bc1) and when I put it there, nothing happens, what am I doing wrong?
Hello Ruben,
For the time being, please leave the Wallet-ID field empty.
Later on you will be able to provide your ERC20 Wallet from Metamask or any other wallet software.
Please be aware that the processing of you claim will take longer than usual due to the migration process.
We will keep you updated regarding the changes with a separate post.
Thanks for your understanding.

I had a computer crash and lost most of my information. I reinstalled SolarCoin and added the address to my SolarCoin wallet. Now the SolarCoin icon on sunnyPortal shows 0 SolarCoin. I might not have used the same e-mail address this time to register with SolarCoin. I just read that duplicate registration could disqualify me for the program. If I did unintentionally register with a different e-mail address is there a way to fix it?
Hello John,
Please contact the SolarCoin Foundation for further support: support@solarcoin.org

my coins used to go to coinomi how do i reclaim them and hoe can i access coins now?
Hello Barry,
Please check the SolarCoin-Website for further information on this topic (“private key migration into SolarCoin Wallet”).

Again this program seems to be a dead loss as far as I can see. I have already submitted a query and been told to basically “wait” …. as it takes time to get organised…
I am still “waiting” with the same problem displaying on my system saying that there is a “Sending error”.
This has been displayed for months now… AND all emails etc to find the problem both via myself and the installation people have gone WITHOUT ANY reply.
Does any one at Solar Coin now how to fix this problem, as I read in the comments ,I am NOT the only one to have problems …. ???
My email address HAS BEEN provided for some one to reply to me…. [tho I will not hold my breath ..!!]
Hello John,
Sorry to hear that there your problem is still not solved.
Did you already get in contact with SolarCoin directly (support@solarcoin.org)?
Have you checked whether there is anything missing in your registration process?
Best regards
Christiane
Hi Sma Team,
I have insert the code of my wallet (Lykke that manages SLR) and the amount of SolarCoin in SMA portal from 3,… is gone to 0 but, after 3 days, I don’t see anything to my wallet in the Lykke Exchange. How many days are necessary to see in my Lykke’s wallet the SLR?
All my Best
Simone
Hello Simone,
You dont’ need digital SolarCoin “wallet” as it is no longer necessary to submit a claim.
The SolarCoin Foundation will manage users’ SolarCoins until they decide to redeem them.
So the process is much easier now 😉
Sunny regards
Christiane
Hi dear SMA team.
First : Awsome service your proposing SLR : the futur !
But…I have admin rights, all info about production location are correctly filled in… But in the data sharing sheet i can check the first part (sunny places) but not the second one especially for solar coins – a message is displayed in red “to be able to participate to the solar coin program please indicate the installation site”.
Any clue?
Thks
Hello Arnaud,
Please check whether you have filled in the field “Country code”, too.
For that, enter for example the state, your district, department or country. On the next screen go to the tab “Data releases” to the right.

Hello,
I registered (claim) my SolarCoins through the Sunny Portal more then a month ago, but until now I didn’t receive any coins? I also posted a ticket to SolarCoin.org but didn’t receive any news from them either. Can someone please verify? Thanks in advance.
Hello Xavier,
After you have registered successfully, it may takes some time before you get your first SolarCoins.
Also there is some time between you have received your first SolarCoins and the next update.
This depends on the size of your plant.
But don’t worry, no SolarCoin will dissapear as the SolarCoin Foundation will award them retrospectively.
Sunny regards
Christiane
The Edit button is not active in Australia to select the Solar Coin Option
Hello Glen,
you need admin rights for your system to register your PV system for the SolarCoin program.
If you don’t have them yet, please ask your installer for further support.

The SolarCoin Foundation will need some time to complete the transfer of the coins.
But be sure that no SolarCoin will get lost as they will be awarded retroactively after you have registered successfully.

I am a little confused.
So we need to connect the PV system equipment to Sunny portal first, and register an account through the website?
What should I do for connecting my PV system with Sunny portal ?
Hello Humble,
Please follow the detailed instructions in our article, mentionned here: “How can SolarCoins be claimed through Sunny Portal?”
It should work out then.

Hello,
How to apply the PV system in sunny portal ?
My page is still empty, even I have filled in the fields which are requested.

Something I have not done ..?? All data re my system is up to date and current
Hello John,
it may take some time until you gain your first Coins.
But don’t worry as no SolarCoin will get lost once you have registered successfully.
To ensure that everything is fine with your registration you may check whether all fields are filled out (e.g. “country”).

My name is Humble
I am from Taiwan, I am working for solar related company.
In my company, we have our own PV systems (10kW, 20kW and 410kW).
Our power generated by PV systems is completely used internally.

Could we apply the solarcoin?

Hello,
I think I made a mistake …
I first created a SolarCoin wallet but without adding my installation to it.
Then I claimed my SolarCoins in Sunny Portal.
The SolarCoin tile is well appearing in my PV system overview but the counter has remained at 0.0000000000 SLR since November 2020 with a “Status: SendingError” message.
What should I do ?
Hello Bernard,
Please contact support@solarcoin.org for further support.

Hello Christiane,
Following your message, I contacted support@solarcoin.org on February 2, 2021.
I first received an automatic response with a ticket number 2412.
Since then and despite a reminder, I still have not received a response …
What should I do ?
Hello Bernard,
Sorry to hear that you are still waiting for a response from SolarCoin.
We can not accelarate this process – sorry again.
But as you have already received a ticket, it shows some process.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Can you please detail which fields need to be filled to be able to join the program? I have full details for the PV installation, installer and operator and still getting “In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand.” with the checkbox blocked.
Hello Nuno,
sometimes the field “Country code” is the reason as it also needs to be filled in.
So please enter for example the state, your district, department or country.
On the next screen go to the tab “Data releases” to the right.

Hello Nuno,
may be also the answer from Jax (dated 24 April 2020) is helpful to you?

Thank you Christiane. It was helpfull. My issue in fact was with the “State” field. It is presented as an empty checkbox for Portugal (actually not applicable), so I assumed no value was required/possible to enter, but in fact I was able to write something, and when I did the option became available.
Hello Nuno,
Good to hear that it has worked out!

Hi Christiane,

Hi,
I accessed the system with Installator Right but when I need to enable Solarcoin I still get the error: “Per poter partecipare al programma SolarCoin, indicare l’ubicazione dell’impianto.” Where do I have to put such info, since there is still such data filled in Plant detail?
Hello Vinzenzo,
Maybe it is necessary to check the field “Country Code”?
In some countries, this one is a bit confusing as it also needs to be filled with your state, your district, department or country.

Good morning
About a year of the team, I created an account and added my solarcoin account to my card. I have been accepted and have been given solarcoins. But only once. For a year, the state of solarcoins has been in place and no coins are added. Installation, of course, works fine. What could be the problem?

Impossible d’obtenir les droits administrateurs. Les installateurs n’acceptent pas de les donner.
Impossible d’adhérer au projet en Belgique.
L’icone Solarcoin a disparu du tableau Sunnyportal.
De toute façon l’option modifier était inactive.
Bref, y a qu’a mais surtout ça ne fonctionne pas. Pour les clients SMA, il n’y a qu’a clicker sur sunnyportal mais ça ne marche de toute façon pas.
Bonjour Francois,
Afin d’activer votre système pour SolarCoin, vous avez besoin de droits d’administration pour votre système.
Si vous ne les avez pas encore, veuillez contacter à nouveau votre installateur.
Les droits ne sont pas cédés – il suffit à l’installateur de l’informer.
Meilleures salutations

Coinomi wallet not supporting SolarCoins.Which wallet can we use? any answer please?
Hello George,
You can use the solarcoin wallet as described here.
The software for your OS can be downloaded or use a paper-wallet.
If you register initially, you can also leave the Wallet-ID entry empty.
Solarcoin-Foundation will handle your wallet for you and later you will be able to get your coins from there.
For moving your wallet from Coinomi, we have a short description from Solarcoin-Foundation. You will receive it by mail.

Coinomi wallet not working with Solarcoins. Which wallet can I use? Thanks.
Hi, a lot of of SMA consumers have activated their solarcoins account for a while (almost 1 yr) with a status approved on the SunnyPortal dashboard, but the counters are still at zero for many. When solarcoins will be granted and status updated?
Thank you to reply.
Dear sir/ madam,
Coinomi wallet stoped support the solar Coin. What we are going to do now? Which wallet can we use now? Where can we use our keys to collect our coins? Are you aware about all this? Is there any announcement about that?
I’m looking forward for your answer..
As my wallet provider (Coinomi) announced the delisting of Solarcoin I moved my Solarcoins to another wallet provider. However, when I want to enter the address of my new Solarcoin wallet on your portal it returns the error message “Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (ValidationError)”. What is the issue here and how I enter my new Solarcoin wallet address?
I am being told I need a Wallet by sunny portal, although your directions indicate one is not necessary.
I have had status SolarCoin approved since december 2019 and still my account for solarcoins show 0… I asked the same question in mid-March. How should one do to get in contact with someone who can help out with this. /Johan

I get a the error SendingError. Any idea what is wrong?
Ive got a sending error. What is that about?
I’m in Australia. How do I know if I have admin rights? the Data releases tab in my Sunny Portal app has the “Consent to participate in the SolarCoin program” tick-box with a red cross in it and the Edit icon greyed out.
Hey. Filled out the application, everything is ok, the status has changed to “SolarCoinApproved”. A day later, the status changed to “SendingError”. What does it mean?
My installer is no longer in business. How can I get admin rights?
On the Sunny Portal site, the Solar Coin module says the status has a sending error. The Data release has a green checkmark, so what should I do to correct this error? Seems to be something on the Sunny tech side, not the Solar Coin tech problem.
I am in the US (Florida), my SMA PV Overview shows “SolarCoin
0.000000 SLR
Status: SolarCoinApproved ” and my system is generating and has been since Sept. last Year (Diagram values: Total Hancock
Total yield Meter change [kWh]
2019 3114.443
2020 6030.099)
.
As you can see I am not receiving my credit.
What should I do?
How I got my lost funds recovered and lost Bitcoin, through the help of Cbackinc..I have been in deep shit all this while I almost lost all I have been investing from day one, I tried all I could to remain unbeatable I never gave up, sometime ago I was referred by a friend to one recovery firm for assistance with their master class intelligence, they were able to track back and retrieve all my lost funds. I’m so happy. If you need help with any recovery service whatsoever, do well to contact them on Whatsapp +1 (785) 325 9621
Hi, when I am logged with my installer login, but can’t tick off the box.
Still get the warning: ‘In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand’. Location is added (except for the state as the country Dominica has not the option to choose any state).
Also all data from installer is filled out, the box of the wallet ID can be filled out, but according to the details I don’t need to have one.
any suggestions what the problem could be?
I just received my SolarCoins. Thx you so much.
Btw is there a forum where people discuss SolarCoin ?
Buenos días, tengo una planta solar fotovoltaica registrada en ennexos.sunnyportal.com, ¿cómo podría solicitar Solarcoins?. La planta se encuentra en España. Tengo otra planta en sunny portal donde no he tenido ningún problema.
So solar coin does not afect your government payback gid tie????

When can I expect an release of my comments?
10 days later, no reaction ?? When can i expect some answers and a sloution for my problem. I’m not getting coins on my sunnyportal. Got an approved status. Rest of the information is shown above (7 april 14:56)
I suggest you ask your question directly in Solarcoin slack: https://join.slack.com/t/solarcoin-group/shared_invite/zt-9blf9mxt-mUDp6iJxZrDNJ4ORRyUC_g
Reading the reactions over here it seems nobody received solarcoins since late 2019?
They don’t respond to tickets, so this project seems pretty dead to me.
When am I getting more coins, you are way behing with the deposit.
Why are my soarcoins not showing on SunnyPortal. I got an approved status on the sunnyportal, but no coins will show.
My ID is : ab003519-a962-420e-a650-1fd2610f8292
Hope i will get some respons from you. Mails are not being answerd, only that a ticket is created, but then it stays quiet.
Hello,
My coin status is over 6 months approved, but still no coins showing on the sunnyportal. Also, emails are not replied ?

Hi everyone @SMA
I have enjoyed reading your article: “Claiming your SolarCoins on Sunny Portal by Susanne Henkel, 27. Mar. 2019
The author leaves out one very important piece and I hope someone will/can fill in the gap.
The topic of: “How can SolarCoins be used?“ is never really answered and the statement: “…SolarCoins can be traded for conventional (fiat) currency on all major exchange portals…” leaves the reader wondering just how you actually go about cashing in on your SolarCoins.
Can someone shed light on this so a layman can convert his SC to cash?
Thanks
My status on Sunny Portal have been changed to SolarCoinApproved since mid December 2019 and still there hasn’t been an update of the SolarCoin balance, I still have 0 solarcoins while produced > 2000 kWh of solarenergy. Is it just a late update or could it be something else that is wrong?
May I ask why the sunny portal of my company still showed up that I have to apply one wallet on my own in order to store the SolarCoin?
How can I prepare the relevant documents?
Hi, I signed up my solar system last year. It initially credited me the days usage but I have not been credited since. Also how do I apply for retroactivity?

Hi Carolyn (and Kevin)
Same issue here so I tried to contact solarcoin support as you advised, but there is no response from solarcoin on e-mail or support ticket.
Maybe SMA could look into this, it seems very few people in this thread get an answer when mailing support@solarcoin.org ?
I think this Solarcoin program is not active anymore?
In my SMA portal the status says “SolarCoinPending” for weeks now.
Tried contacting support@solarcoin.org, then an automatic ticket is created but nobody ever responded to that ticket.
Hi Rene,
the SolarCoin program is still active. SolarCoin is working on the solution of the problem.

How do I create my own wallet?
There are several ways to create SolarCoin wallets. The two primary options:
The fastest and easiest way to manage and or claim SolarCoin is third-party Coinomi wallet, available for Android and iOS mobile devices. The Coinomi SolarCoin wallet requires minimal drive space and computing power. It very easy to use for receiving, spending and holding SolarCoin. The Coinomi wallet does not support staking and earning the targeted 2% annual SLR “interest”.
The official SolarCoin QT full node desktop-based wallet is available for download from http://www.solarcoin.org. This wallet application is a full node that helps maintain the integrity of the SolarCoin network. It requires time and several gigabytes of drive space to sync the blockchain upon installation.
Leaving the wallet open and active contributes to supporting the SolarCoin network using a method known as ‘staking’. Staking provides the wallet owner with a targeted 2% annual return in SLR. Staking requires a small portion of CPU capacity.
Regardless of wallet choice, safeguarding the wallet’s private keys and submitting the receiving public address accurately for claims and bounties are the sole responsibility of the user.
The SCF is not responsible for lost SLR due to lost passphrases, compromised wallets, software failures, or incorrectly entered receiving addresses. The SCF is unable to recover any SLR once they have been sent. The SCF can not recover forgotten or lost passphrases. The SCF cannot recover stolen SolarCoin or claims mis-appropriated.

Good day. I am from South Africa. I installed 3 25 SMA inverters with 92 Kwp Solarpanels. I cannot check the box “Consent to participate in the SolarCoin program:” Are there any other way for me to register into the solar coin program?
Hi Richard,
You need the installer rights of the system, if you don’t have them please contact your installer.

Carolyn
Hello, message from Poland,
I am not able to press EDIT in data releases.
I am not sure if my country is in my the program or not.
According to the map that is on your website, it participates the program.
Hi Marek,
Please check if you are the owner of the system, sometimes your installer has the rights for this.
Sunny regards
Carolyn
how can I check it?
Hello, why is that only my systems connected to SunnyPortal with PiggyBack Card or WebBox connection can claim Solar Coin and the ones connected with Cluster Controller can’t?
Hi Julian,
All systems registered in Sunny Portal in the classic version (except Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS) with an output up to 150 kW, can automatically participate in the SolarCoin program. Is your system larger than 150 kWp? Or is it registered in the Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS? If neither of these points applies, please send us details about your system by mailing to SocialMedia@SMA.de.
Kind regards,
Anke
Do I need to create a profile on “solarcoin.org” to get solar coins via Sunny Portal ?
It’s not very clear for me.
Hi Luc,
I’m not sure if I got your question right.
To receive SolarCoins it is possible to do this quickly and easily via Sunny Portal, with SMA and the SolarCoin Foundation entering into a partnership to facilitate this.
By ticking a box, the PV system operator agrees to the legal terms and conditions and can receive So-larCoins following an automated check by the SolarCoin Foundation. This largely bypasses the need to submit all the documentation that would otherwise be required for registration to provide evidence of the PV system’s ownership status, technical data, power generation capacity and identity, in turn making the whole application process much simpler.
Sunny regards,
Carolyn
You said:
“Usually, the credit is made in the first half of the following month after approval. At present, however, technical restrictions may cause delays. The SolarCoin Foundation is working on a solution.”
For me it has been 4 months since I sign on with the solarcoin program. I have been producing since 2013. From SunnyPortal I have no solarcoins in the Solarcoin block in the “PV System Overview” window. Are there still problems?
Hi,
Unfortunately it looks like, sorry! For direct support please write an e-mail to support@solarcoin.org.

Hi in my installation 500kW (4965b32c-3bc0-4392-8f4b-5e52d9da7ac0 administartor acess ) i havent availability to participate in solarcoin programm , isnt possible?
Hi Tasos,
Currently only PV systems up to 150 kWp can join the SolarCoin programm.

Hi there, I have two plants (on individual Sunny Islands and controllers) at the one address. I assume that the plant I register first will get the autogenerated solarcoin wallet. Can I use that wallet for the second plant? Or am i better to register for a solarcoin wallet separately and add it when I register both plants? I assume that this option will require me to ‘validate my plants’ – something I dont have to do with registration via sunny portal.
Hi Trevor,
You can register his second attachment as well as the first one via the portal, this should work.
Kind regards, Annika
Hi!
I accidentally pressed a button that said “Don’t show this message again” and the Solarcoin window disappeared. How do I make it appear again on the Sunny Portal?
Hi Roman,

Hi,
Since 8 days I can see that my status is SolarCoinApproved. But still have 0,000000 SLR. I’m a producer since 2017, so I was expecting to retroactively receive the SLR, but is still 0. Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks!
Tiago
Hi Tiago,
Usually, the credit is made in the first half of the following month after approval. At present, however, technical restrictions may cause delays. The SolarCoin Foundation is working on a solution.

I have been claiming my SolarCoin since last year directly from the foundation but beginning of the year I have registered my SMA plant with SolarCoin since February. Since then I have not received any? I can see the latest status owning 19.404 SLR. I reveived an automated e-mail (from address claims@solarlux.energy) where the final status was “rejected”.
Hi Pasi,
It seems that you have registered your PV plant twice, so you may have been blocked by the Foundation. If so, please contact the SolarCoin Foundation directly via email support@solarcoin.org.
Kind regards,
Anke
Thanks, will try to reach them – been trying that already for 6 months but no reply.
hi how do I get a wallet
Hi Richard,
Please find more information on that at the SolarCoin Foundation.

My ‘Edit button was (also) inactive but once my installer gave me Admin rights the button became active and now I am ‘ in’ the program.
(Without Admin rights i couldn’t even connect my EEBus/HomeConnect devices – so it is definitely needed).
But it just keeps saying: “Status: SolarCoinPending” and there is no way to see anything more and on the SolarCoins website it just redirects you to this page if you are an SMA customer.
I am having problem I cant find this option in my system.
Hi ! in data release edit button is inactive, cant register
Hi Agris,
please make sure that you have the installer rights to access the settings. If not, the best way is to ask your installer to do it for you.
Thanks and regards, Annika
Hi SMA,

Why is 150 kWp the maximun capacity to ask for SolarCoin in Sunny Portal?
As long as I read, SolarCoin allows PV Systems up to 500 kWp or even more with an special registration process
Recently switched to an SMA inverter after my old one stopped working. I understand I can add my previous production back to 2010 to the solarcoins how do I do that? Thanks
Hi David,
You can just add your pervious production retroactively for the past 5 years. Nevertheless please contact: support@solarcoin.org directly. They will help you to get you SeolarCoins. You will need the documents of your system and the description of your porblem.
Sunny regards,
Carolyn
Hi Anke
Thanks a lot for your help and swift response.
I’m the installer of the system, I also got the admin access rights. The problem is that the error message I get does not provide any guidance on the root cause. Is there a way to have a better insight on the error I receive?
Hi,
Please sign in on our Service Line, my colleagues will help you.
Sunny regards,
Carolyn
Hi Anke,
maybe good to have a FAQ section in which you explicitely mention a coupple of examples what people should do. Example given, in the Netherlands we have to fill in the State option which is by default left open as we do not have states but only provinces. This was the reason that at first I was denied to progress with the SolarCoin data release option.
Kind regards,
John
Hi John,
Thank you for the good tip.

Hi, I encounter some troubles in registering my P.V. System on the sunny portal. The error i get is the following (In order to participate in the solar coin program, please completely indicate the location of the system before hand). The location of my system is properly registered on the sunny portal. My P.V. system identifier code is 44829e4a-76f6-4e4c-8617-eeaa15e81fca.
What is more, my system has been commissioned on December 2011, but I have linked it with the sunny portal approximately a year ago. How could I register the period the P.V. Plant was not linked with the sunny portal to the solar coin program?

I have had SolarCoinApproved status for several days now in Sunny Portal. No coins have been generated for current or past generation so far. When should I expect my coins?
I have my SolarCoins showing now.
trying to give the consent to participate. However the dialog in the “Data releases” tab indicates “In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand.” in red.

Status: SolarCoinPending
When it will be approved?
Hi Christopher,
It depends on the number of new applications. Usually the Approval takes less than one week. The transfer of Solarcoins takes longer and should happen within the first two weeks of each month.
Kind regards,
Anke
In the article you say ‘By the way: SolarCoins are awarded retroactively for up to five years from the date of registration.’ How does one do this?
Hi John,
It works automatically. You do not have to do anything, but enter your plant data correctly.
Kind regards,
Anke
So how long before the status changes to SolarCoinApproved from SolarCoinPending?
Coming up on a week now since I enabled the data export.
3 days so far and still awaiting moderation approval?
Hi Keith,
Sorry for the delay!
It depends on the number of new applications. Usually the approval takes less than one week. The transfer of Solarcoins takes a bit longer and should happen within the first two weeks of each month.

Hello,
I am having trouble checking the Data Release Consent checkbox, it somehow seems to indicate I have not completed full location data (message: In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand.) But I did, on the ‘PV System Data’ tab I have all address related fields set (except state which I can’t since its empty and we have no states in Belgium).
Please help.
Hi Jan,
The solarcoin foundation requires the “state” field to be filled in. Enter your “region” here (preferred) or just repeat the country.
Hope it works.
Kind regards,

Hi Jocelyn,
That means you have to enter the plant location. If the plant is installed on your roof then fill in your address. Please note: You have to log in with “installer” level to be able to edit data in Sunny Portal. Please ask your installer, he should give you access data.

Hi Anke,
I have the same issue. I have the Plant Administrator role in Sunny Portal. Under user management I created another user with the Installer role. It is still not working. What else I need to do? And I simply don’t understand why I need to contact the installer with this.
Best regards
Daniel
Hi Dániel,
You don´t need to contact your installer as you have admin rights. Then you can change or set anything yourself.
Is your system capacity up to 150 kWp, registered in Sunny Portal and connected via Webconnect or a WebBox?
What is your current status? Did the Foundation give any reason for the rejection or ask you for more information?
Current reasons for a rejection could be, for example:
– Countries that are not supported (OFAC restrictions)
– Local legal or regulatory restrictions
– Incomplete or insufficiently secured information to verify the claim
– Missing authorizations
– Multiple claims for the same plant site
If none of the above applies, please contact the Foundation directly at support@solarcoin.org.
Kind regards,
Anke
Hi Anke,
I din not try to register at solarcoin and so the foundation did not give a rejection. I tried to click the checkbox on sunnyportal as it is described in this article, and get the coins to the entere wallet. But my issue is that I can not check the checkbox, as it is grayed out and the following message is in read below it: “In order to be able to participate in the SolarCoin program, please completely indicate the location of the system beforehand.” My system capacity is 7.25 kWp.
Best regards
Daniel
Hi again,
Have you checked the address field? You need to fill out the address information of the plant completely and correctly. The Foundation checks this against, with current satellite data. Or maybe the state is missing? This is difficult in some countries, but the Solarcoin Foundation requires an entry here. Try to enter the district or your country again.
Please also make sure that all fields are filled in the tab “operator/installer”,also all fields from the tab “PV system data”.
Hope it will work.
Kind regards,
Anke
You probably already fixed this – however as this is the highest reply – i will comment.
Had same issue for Australian Site – You need to edit and complete all your location details:
PV System Profile> PV System Data > Save Change
PV System Profile> Operator/Installer > Save Changes
ONLY then can you tick the box, add your wallet and accept the T&C’s.
I completed this as a Plant Administrator. No need for “installer” credentials as advised.
Thanks for this tip. I need to put state on the data.
Hi i registered a wallet from the SolarCoin site before i saw that if i registered twice it would cancel from Sunny Portal.
Is there some way to fix this?
Hi Robert,
Actually this should synchronize itself automatically. In case, it does not, please contact Solarcoin Foundation directly via e-mail: support@solarcoin.org
Kind regards,
Anke

Should you believe your facility or place of generation / ownership is exempt please submit a ticket at info@solarcoin.org stating the reason believed for the exemption.
Hi, quick questions about how you file SolarCoin claims.
Do you generate a wallet for each claimant? And if so, is it a SolarCoin wallet or on a separate blockchain exchange platform? Or do you just generate a new wallet address for each of your clients, but still all within one wallet? Or do you collect all of the coins and distribute them accordingly to the claimants’ personal wallets?
Please explain, thank you.
Hi Ana,
SMA does not create wallets on customers behalf. Instead there are two possibilities:
_User creates a Solarcoin Wallet and provides the public wallet ID when registering plant for generation of Solarcoins. The Solarcoin Foundation will issue the coins to the customers wallet.
_User does NOT create a Wallet and leaves the wallet ID empty when registering for Solarcoin generation. In this case the Solarcoin foundation will create so called “omnibus wallet”. Coins are issued to the omnibus account and all plant transactions will be traced there. Sunny Portal will anyway display the customers amount of coins. When the customer wants to access his coins he will need a personal Solarcoin wallet. He has to create it and provide the wallet ID at sunny portal (can be done anytime). The Solarcoin Foundation will then transfer the coins from that omnibus account to the personal wallet. This usually takes a few days to be completed.
Kind regards,
Anke
Do i have to pay for something??
Hi Christos,
You don´t have to pay, SolarCoin is free. It is an additional reward for solar energy producers.
Kind regards,
Anke
I was registered for solar coins but this portal does not recognize me. how do I transfer coins to this account so I dont have to spend hours letting blockchain update?
i’ve got few offgrid sites that are connected to one account at Sunny Portal,
but, all the communication from battery inverters and grid inverters are using RS485 and connected to SMA Sunny WebBox. am i eligible to participate in SolarCoin?
Hallo Albert,
Thanks for your request. Yes, you can also claim SolarCoin. Unfortunately, it is not possible to register WebBox systems via Sunny Portal; so you need to claim it at SolarCoin foundation.
Hope you can enjoy your SolarCoin soon.
Kind regards,
Anke
@All: Peter and Raimund are right. In “operator/installer” you need to fill in every field, even State or Subregion. E.g. I filled in the province (for Belgium) “Oost-Vlaanderen” and “Vlaams-Brabant” (for the installer). Also in description I filled in something useless in the tab PV system data. I even filled in the fax-number for operator and installer (eventually same as the phone number). Then i was immediately accepted without error.
@All: one major issue when claiming solarcoins with sunny portal seems to be the “State” entry in the address field. Unfortunately this entry is required (I believe this is because it is necessary part of an address in the US). Please try to enter your “subregion” in this field (or retype the country).
Another issue is: Plant MUST be connected using either direct Webconnect connection or connection using SunnyHome Manager.
Then: User has to have at least installer rights to access the activation page (this should be fixed soon by SMA hopefully)
Hi, Any restrictions on which Sunny Portal plants (equipment models, or plant creation date, etc.) can ‘activate’ this SolarCoin feature? thx
dear all;
I has taken 1½ month for SMA not to ansver and by reading the string i got a clue from another user which i tried and now it seems working;
Do as follows;
You need to make sure all fields are filled in in the tab “operator/installer” and also make sure that all fields from the tab “PV system data” are filled in correctly. In my installation, some fields where empty and it seems like beeing the reason why I got the error.
After filling in all fields correctly, I succeeded to enable the solar coin program with my wallet ID.
Now i am looking forward to see if i will earn any coins 🙂
Yours sincerely
Peter
I was able to sign up and I now see SolarCoin is approved though still with zero value. Will I be automatically credited retroactively to my Dec 2016 installation? The system has generated almost 15 MWh. Thanks.
Hi Doug,
Don´t worry, it just takes some time, up to 72 h. You got it now? Thereafter there will be coins at regular 6-month intervals.
Kind regards,
Anke
Anyone a response from SMA?
No. Again weeks later still not a single response received from SMA support after reaching out to them…
Hi Cornelis,
I´m really sorry for not being able to answer you earlier. Have you already checked the field “Country code”? It must also be filled in, so please enter for example the state, your district, department or country (also see blog post).
Hope, this helps.
Kind regards, Anke
Me neither!
make sure that u leave the spaces away when you put in your wallet id,

Steps:
1 – I added my public key in the text line
2 – Accepted the conditions
3 – Pressed SAVE
4 – And next the error was displayed:
“Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (UnknownError)”.
Please help! Maybe better to use email so I can give details (names etc) over the PV plant?
When using email I can also add screenshots Maria! And looking at the responses here on this website I am not the only one with the same problem?
Hi Maria,
My PV system identifier is
Please provide directions / solutions for the problem reported?
Hi Maria,
My PV system identifier is ec4fa10d-325b-4b6b-a5e2-680929ac7d4b
Please provide solution / directions to resolve the reported issue of not able to participate in SolarCoin due to error : Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (UnknownError).
Dear Maria et all at SMA,
Sent emails as requested, got no reply. Sent comments here, got no answers on why we cannot participate. When do we get an answer please with instructions to resolve the issues we encounter?
Still no directions received from SMA… Provided systemID, explained the steps I took, provided screenshots of the error displayed in Sunny Portal…
Dear SMA, we are a month later since I reported the issue…
A kind request: Could you please reach out to you customer and start providing help / instructions?
Okay. NO help to expect from SMA with regards to errors prompted in SunnyPortal. Not here on website, not on the by SMA themselves suggested email address. After weeks of waiting did not get a single reply. SMA: This lack of providing not any help simply ***SUCKS***!
My suggestion: Go to the Solarcoin website and create account. Next create a paper or digital wallet. Fill in the data from your PV plant and your public wallet key onto the Solarcoin website account. Add photo of inverter label. Then in the first 12 days of each month the Solarcoins are added to your digital or paper wallet.
Wallet-ID bad
Wallet-ID = indentifiant de l’installation ? (onglet “données de l’installation”)
Hi Christophe,
Wallet-ID is the public key of a solarcoin crypto-wallet. If you are not sure yet you can leave it blank. The Solarcoin Foundation will keep you Coins until you provide a valid Wallet-ID.
Kind regards,
Maria
when trying either directly or using the token from SolarCoin i get the reply “Participation in the SolarCoin program could not be activated. Error (UnknownError)”
I havent received any feed back neither at mail or here at this site. I also see other having excately the same problem not able to activate ??
Hi,
I got the same issue but I have found the solution. You need to make sure all fields are filled in in the tab “operator/installer” and also make sure that all fields from the tab “PV system data” are filled in correctly. In my installation, some fields where empty and that was the reason why I got this error. After filling in all fields correctly, I succeeded to enable the solar coin program with my wallet ID.

§1 SolarCoin represents 1 MWh of solar electricity generation
1 SLR = 0.045$
Great of course, but not tangible)
Hi Evgeniy,
That is true – but have you seen what happened to Bitcoin 😉

HI. I’m in Australia and I went to this page to register but under the ‘data releases’ tab I only have this option:
Agreement of data use via Sunny Places.
Nothing else… Why am I missing the other option?
Hi James,
please check if you are plant administrator. It is absolutely necessary to be an administrator for the plant. “Users” are looked upon as “Viewers” and will not be able to change any settings.
Kind regards,
Maria
Hi Maria.
Yes confirmed I’m a Plant Administrator. I have 2 accounts and both are admins but no go…. Is there anything else I can check?
Is Solarcoin applicable for systems below 10KW? I am not able to claim it for systems that are 10Kw and above.
Hi Suhas,
it is applicable for all systems connected to SunnyPortal with a maximum peak-Power of 150KW. It is necessary that the PV-Plant is connected using Webconnect (either inverter directly connected to the internet or using a Sunny HomeManager /SunnyHomeManager 2)
Kind regards,
Maria

Same problem, Swedish installation.
Go to your Solar Coin wallet. Open the receive tab. Copy the address there. Paste it in the System Profile Configueration section (once opened – click on edit) paste your address there and save. Ignore if available as this will prevent you from moving forward. Save the address. Profile then is complete and you should be connected. See the UI on the SMA home page in your portal.
I’m in Italy and my country is listed.
Why don’t I have the option to participate in the SolarCoin initiative on the Sunny Portal?
I don’t have the option in the Data Releases section.
The Privacy policy is the only one that I can select.

I own an installation 4600 KWH with two SMA TL2100 – unfortunetly a bit too old, so I can’t use webconnect and Sunny Home or Portal.
How can I claim SolarCoins?
Hello Jan,
you need to register via the Solarcoin website (solarcoin.org) OR wait until we have a solution. This is not bad, because retroactive to 2010 (if the system is not younger), the income will be considered.
Kinds regards,
Maria
Hello which user rights is it needed to access these settings ?
Have I to ask the installer to do this ?
Thanks
Hi Michael,
You´re right, you need the installer rights to access the settings. The best way is to ask your installer to do it for you. Unfortunately, this is the only way, but we´ll keep you informed if it changes.
Kind regards, Anke

I had at first trouble in “Consent” checkbox – reason: not all address fields were filled in PV System Data.
Hi Esa,
The correct data is crucial for claiming SolarCoins. The foundation checks it based on satellite data.
Kind regards, Anke
That is so cool.
My installer had left out the house address information, so I had to complete it to allow the export to be checked. It took a while to work out what the problem was.
It makes total sense now I know that.
Solved!
How to make the checkbox active for “Consent to participate in the SolarCoin program”
Make sure address fields are completed in these TWO areas:
1. Sign in to SunnyPortal with Administrator privileges
2. Navigate to: Configuration –> PV System Properties –> PV System Data (The default tab when opened)
Fill in all fields for plant address
Here is the URL: https://www.sunnyportal.com/Templates/PlantProperties.aspx
3. Navigate to: Configuration –> PV System Properties –> Operator/Installer
Fill in all fields for owner and installer
Here is the URL: https://www.sunnyportal.com/Templates/CarrierData.aspx
Return to Configuration –> PV System Properties –> Data Releases and you should now be able to check the box for “Consent to participate in the SolarCoin program:”
Great! It really helped! Many thanks
Why don’t I have the option to participate in the SolarCoin initiative on the Sunny Portal?
I don’t have the option in the Data Releases section.
Hi Niko,
In which country is your PV plant installed? I´m asking, because there are a few countries in which the function is not available for regulatory reasons e.g. blocking of the country or embargo measures by the US government.
Kind regards, Anke
Hello, I suppose that Niko is from Greece and I have the same problem.
Hi Anke,
Please share with us the names of the countries where the service is available.
Hi Shahzaib,
you zhave to search the information on the page solarcoin.org, we are not responsible for it.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Maria
I have the same problem as Niko. I am in Australia, which surely is not subject to such embargos?
Kind regards,

Hi,
I am from Hungary and I’ve got the similar issue: Cannot check that Icon on to participate this program.
Please inform me about this.
Thank you
Hi Gabor,
Please check your role in Sunny Portal, you need admin/innstaller rights to fill out all relevant data. If you don´t have them, please ask your installer for it.
Kind regards,
Anke
Hello, I encounter the same problem here in Belgium !
Hi Marcel,
functions are not available in every country.
This depends on the country availabilities, decided by SolarCoin.
Kind regards
Christiane
Dear Anke,
That function is also not available In Korea(Republic of Korea).

Hello Cheol-Yong,
Sorry, but not all functions are available throughout the world.
This depends on the list of country availabilities from SolarCoin.
Sunny regards
Christiane
Is it avaible in Belgium?
Hello Roman,
Yes, SolarCoin should also work out in Belgium.
Sunny regards
Christiane
