Jasmine (YC S22) – Automating REC compliance and payouts for solar

Viewed 7
Jasmine is a startup that aims to automate Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) compliance and payouts specifically for solar energy. The user comments raise questions about the potential pitfalls of their model, suggesting that instead of promoting new solar installations, it may open a market for existing solar installations to sell RECs, possibly flooding the market without contributing to new solar development. This could allow companies to claim offsets against their emissions, while existing solar contributes no net increase to capacity. However, there is a hope that through automation, Jasmine can facilitate further adoption and a net positive impact in the long term by enabling a more efficient marketplace for solar energy.
