There are two major hurdles preventing adoption of solar PV systems for commercial and residential building owners: Affordability and Ownership Suitability.

Zero Citizen will facilitate investment in solar PV projects through our Renewable Energy Fractions (REF) solution, which enables fractional ownership of the solar PV systems. For instance, if the equity of a solar PV system is divided into 100 fractions, each fraction would represent 1% ownership. Building owners and occupants will be prioritised for investment, with the public being able to invest in the remainder. Renewable energy can be supplied to multiple occupants of a building and will be around 20% cheaper than the average utility supplier. Additionally, a major benefit is that the building occupants can keep their existing utility suppliers. Zero Citizen utilises a sharing economy model, with all owners of solar PV fractions rewarded based on the electricity sold – estimated 12% annual yield.
