SOLAR CUBE

Plug in. Prove it.

SOLAR CUBE · METERING & CONNECTIVITY FOR ANY EXISTING STRING

Video transcript

Okay, let's talk about, taking your existing renewable energy devices and connecting it to trade electricity. And so if you have solar panels that are already, you know, up on your roof or at your site location, you can still use the Annu energy platform. So really, all the solar panels have the same connector. You look at this, this image here. You've got a black and a red connector on either side. So you plug in your solar panel on one side and then you put this box and you junction it there and then the rest of it goes to your battery or out to the grid.

And so we take, and now we can communicate on the new energy platform. So you can actually get funding for, for those solar panels that are making power and use all of the services that you get when you buy a product from a new energy. So it's free. And now you can start selling power back to the grid. So it's got the onboard Internet of things communications. You can click on these little, glowing dots here and learn how it all works. And, all those things.

And so, if you scroll down here, you'll get more information about the product and how it works with all the other products. So, most of this technology is built right into the products that we sell. But this is really this, E cube that we call it. It's used to take existing renewable energy and just bring it all together, onto our network to be able to buy and sell and trade and finance and do all kinds of cool stuff like that. So have a beautiful day, Pura vida, as they say in Costa Rica. And, that means live the pure life. Okay, see you later. Bye.

Part of Connect

Any panel. Any string. One cube.

The Solar Cube drops into an existing string of solar panels — new or already installed — and monitors exactly how much power is moving through it. No re-wiring your array, no new panels required.

It connects into ANEW Energy Communications, giving your solar production a verifiable, clone-resistant identity — the foundation for turning generation you're already making into fundable carbon credits, tax credits, and PPAs.

Why the Cube

Metering that pays for itself.

The short version

Solar panels make power whether or not anyone can prove it. The Solar Cube sits in-line on the string — 2 MC4 inputs, 2 MC4 outputs — and meters exactly what's flowing, then reports it over CAN Bus to the ANEW Communications board.

An onboard battery keeps the Cube connected even when the sun isn't, so your production record never has a gap. That continuous, verifiable record is what unlocks carbon credits, tax credits, and PPAs on power you were already generating.

Where the power goes

Your panels make it. Who pays for it?

A kilowatt-hour has three possible buyers: you, your utility, or the market. The Cube's job is to produce the one number all three will pay against. Without a metered, signed record the power is still real, but nobody can be invoiced for it and no credit can be issued on it.

For the specialist · the three routes and the connection

Self-consumption is worth the retail tariff avoided and needs no counterparty. Export to a single buyer, the case for a Costa Rican home, is credited by the distributor at the ARESEP-set rate under the distributed-generation rules. Export in an open market is sold under a PPA to an off-taker or, through a licensed aggregator, day-ahead and intraday on the wholesale market, with the renewable certificate issued per megawatt-hour from the same record. In every case the distribution operator first checks that the substation transformer serving your feeder can carry the midday export as well as the evening load; pairing the Cube with storage that discharges into the evening is what keeps a street full of systems inside that limit.

About these numbers

The performance values on this page are theoretical. They are based on mathematical calculations, not on measured physical performance. We will update them as physical values come in during our 18-month “Iron Man” destructive testing and validation programme. All products will carry the onboard eCube Power Trading technology, which will be calibrated each year to ASTM standards.

Power you're already making. Now provable.

The Cube is one input to a micro-grid. Its output charges the Power Pack, the Transformer conditions it, and the grid connection covers the remainder — so a gap in generation never reaches the lights. 24/7.

How Your Project Gets Paid For

Every product we make is born fundable.

The hard part of clean energy is not the hardware. It is that a single roof, farm or clinic is too small for a bank to look at. So we build the financing into the product. The same board ships inside every ANEW system, sells its power under contract, proves every kilowatt-hour it delivers, and lets thousands of small systems be pooled into paper the bond market can actually buy.

  1. 1

    Sell the power before you buy the hardware

    A power purchase agreement on the system sells its electricity before the system is financed. The project starts with contracted revenue from a named buyer instead of a forecast, and that is the difference between a loan application and a bond.

  2. 2

    Prove every kilowatt-hour

    The communications board measures output at the source and signs each reading with a hardware identity that cannot be copied. Nobody has to take your word for it, or ours.

  3. 3

    Pool it into certified paper

    Thousands of signed, contracted systems pool into a weekly country basket. The basket is verified and drawn as a series under a planned Climate Bonds-certified note programme, and the contracted power services the coupon every month.

ANEW Energy is registered with the Climate Bonds Initiative and working toward certification, planned to be in place by the time the products are in production. It is not yet certified. Nothing here is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.

Buy ANEW technology and we plant a tree you can follow.

Pick it, name it, find it on the map and watch the CO₂ it holds grow. Or receive a young tree and plant it yourself. Concept with a working demo: the first planting, in Costa Rica, has not happened yet.
