Funding for the project is secured against the launch and sale of the cryptocurrency tokens from the farms and based on a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA).

According to the company: “Cryptosolartech is an ERC-20 utility token working within Ethereum in the Blockchain, that can be exchanged in multiple ways.”
