New Platform Offers Transparent, Trackable Way to Support
Clean Energy Infrastructure
HOUSTON, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the rapid growth of
solar energy in the U.S., the transition to a clean energy grid
isn't happening fast enough. Solar energy still accounts for less
than 5% of electricity generation, while over 75% of harmful
emissions are due to energy sources. Solar Slice, an innovative
platform founded by nuclear engineer Dr. Nathan Childress, is launching today on
Kickstarter to bridge this critical gap and empower individuals to
directly combat climate change by supporting the development of
large-scale solar farms.
"Studies show 63% of Americans feel a personal responsibility to
reduce global warming, yet many feel powerless to make a real
impact," says Dr. Childress. "Solar Slice addresses this issue. By
purchasing 'Slices' – virtual representations of a portion of a
large-scale solar farm – individuals directly fund clean energy
production and can track their contribution through a user-friendly
app. Each 50W Slice will remove 3 tons of CO2 over its lifetime,
and the average American can offset their entire annual carbon
footprint for about $450. It's a new
way to take climate action that's transparent, impactful, and
rewarding."
Building a Large-Scale Solution with Kickstarter
Support
Solar Slice's Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $1 million to build the first of many planned
solar farms. This initial plant will not only generate clean
electricity for the grid but also serve as a real-world
demonstration of Solar Slice's innovative model. Funds raised will
also support the development of an intuitive app where backers
can:
- Track their impact: Monitor their Slice's real-time
energy generation, emissions reduction, and earn badges for
reaching sustainability milestones.
- Earn eco rewards: Convert their clean energy
contributions into meaningful rewards like planting trees,
purchasing more Slices, or supporting pollinator initiatives.
- Take collective action: Join with friends, family,
or colleagues to collectively purchase Slices and track their
combined production.
Why Solar Slice is Groundbreaking:
- Unique approach: Solar Slice is the first and only
platform that allows individuals to directly fund and track their
contribution to clean energy generation.
- Transparency and tracking: The app provides
real-time data on, making the impact of each Slice tangible.
- Gift the power of the sun: Solar Slice creates a
new category of gifts. Individuals can give the gift of a cleaner
future with a Slice – a unique present that generates a positive
impact for years to come.
