Discover the SunContract NFT Marketplace
In March we unveiled a groundbreaking innovation — the world’s first global NFT marketplace for real-world solar panels. Our NFT Marketplace platform integrates blockchain technology, NFTs, and solar sector expertise to provide easy access to clean energy for everyone.
Each NFT represents a specific panel at a particular farm, with the holder enjoying the benefits of the physical asset. Solar-linked NFTs can be bought and sold anytime on SunContract’s NFT marketplace, while token holders can manage the energy generated by their “Personal Power Plant”.
By purchasing our NFTs, you will own a digital asset representing an actual solar panel that produces electricity. You can receive revenue in SNC tokens from the energy produced, sell your NFT, or use the energy at home or in your business (this is currently available only in Slovenia).
This approach connects energy consumers and producers worldwide and makes each user part of a larger community, promoting sustainability, self-sufficiency, and decentralized energy management. Thereby, it fosters economic, social, and environmental progress. The initiative is aimed at people committed to the green transition who are eager to invest in the future of renewables and the crypto community to get exposure to the real economy through the renewable energy sector.
From it’s launch in March, we unveiled 4 collections of solar linked NFTs, each sold in a matter of days. But we are planning to add more collections to these ones. You can also buy NFTs from the previous collection on our secondary marketplace. In the following article we explain, how easily you can use our NFT marketplace yourself and benefit from our new sustainable solution.
How to Buy Your First NFT?
You must register and log in to our platform to use the NFT marketplace and purchase NFTs. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to successfully buy your NFT:
- First, register on our official platform. You can do that by clicking the button LOG IN.
- After that, you need to complete the KYC verification on the platform.
When your KYC is verified, the next step is buying SNC tokens used to purchase NFTs. You can get SNC coins ready in three different ways:
- They can be purchased on exchanges like Kriptomat or HTX, which you transfer to your SunContract account.
- You can buy SNCs on our platform in collaboration with Kriptomat. This transaction is made with a credit card.
- You can also get SNCs by making a SEPA payment on our platform. Your funds will then be exchanged into SNC tokens.
When you have enough SNCs on your account, you can buy your NFT in the “Collect” or “Trade” section.
Collect Versus Trade Sections
Collect section
The “Collect” section represents the primary market, where you can buy NFTs from the current collection available for sale. Previously released collections are also visible there. You can click to open a specific collection where NFTs are still available, select the “Solar panels” option, and choose the desired NFT linked to a particular solar panel. You can check the energy production analysis in this section by clicking the “Analytics” button.
Trade section
The “Trade” section is the secondary market, intended for NFT owners who want to resell their NFTs. Interested users can buy NFTs from previous collections that were sold out.
It offers a “Buy Now” option, where individual NFTs are available with specific offers and prices (in SNCs and euros)
There is also an “Make an Offer” option. When you make an offer for a particular desired NFT, the owner will receive your offer and decide whether to sell the NFT or not. The NFT will be transferred to your account if they accept your offer.
The production of associated panels, solar farms, location, minimum months of maturity, and Zero Offers and Non-Zero Offers can further filter NFTs offered on the secondary market.
NFT Page Breakdown
Each NFT offered in the “Collect” or “Trade” section has its unique image, Estimated Yearly Production, and Maturity Date.
Additionally, for each NFT, you can see past (Historic) and forecasted (Forecast) production statistics for one day, seven days, 30 days, or 90 days when you log in into the platform.
Each NFT features an image depicting a hero from our story. It’s an imaginary tale about time travel that includes accurate historical data. Our first tokenized power plant is located near a historic battle between two Roman emperors in 394 AD.
How To Monitor Statistics
You can also monitor various statistics. As described above, statistics can be seen when clicking on a specific NFT. It can also be seen in the My Dashboard section that is available to you once you register on our platform. Here you will see your purchased NFTs and by clicking on one of them you will see all the data.
Here you can track production statistics for one day, seven days, 30 days, or 90 days. In addition to past production (Historic), you can monitor the forecasted production (Forecast). You can also track Revenue history — for one day, seven days, 30 days, or 90 days.
Additionally, Leaderboard statistics are available after you log into the NFT platform. This ranking highlights all users whose NFTs have produced the most electricity on our Marketplace. In addition to the “Top energy producers last 7 days” statistics, there are also the “Top NFT buyers last 7 days” statistics.
Additional Functionalities
You can also see two icons in the top right corner of our NFT Marketplace once you log in.
The wallet icon takes you to your SunContract digital wallet, where you can see the current balance of SNC coins and review all assets on the platform (wallet, transactions, and bills).
The bell icon shows notifications. Here, you can see notifications if someone responds to your offer on the secondary market if you sell an NFT, etc. Notifications communicate all essential information relevant to users on our NFT Marketplace.
