People like you, who have solar panels or are looking to get them, are helping bring about a world based on green energy. You are helping lead the way as governments, companies and people increasingly recognise the importance of renewable energy and set more challenging targets for increasing renewable sources and reducing carbon footprints.
But it isn't easy. Solar has an initial cost to overcome, and continually decreasing subsidies means the time to cover that cost is measured in years, if not decades.
The brand new Rowan Rewards system is ideal if you are an existing solar user or want a new installation.
You can still use that electricity to power your home or business, store it in a battery for later use, or sell it back to the grid exactly as you currently do.
The difference is now you start earning Rowan Rewards as an extra benefit as well.
For every 1kWh of energy you generate, you could earn 10p worth of Rowan Rewards (based on a Standard 5kWp Package), which you can redeem in pounds and pence to spend as you like.
Once you have earned your Rowan Rewards, they can be redeemed into your PayPal account to spend as you want. There are also plans to allow charity donations within Rowan Rewards so you can do some extra good.
A solar setup can take over 15 years to pay for itself, but with Rowan Rewards, you could bring this time down to less than 10.
You can order your Rowan Rewards Subscription today.
You should have received a Welcome Email from Rowan Energy just before the SmartMiner is installed. This email gives you some information on Rowan Rewards and how to set up your account. Every new customer is allocated a standard password. You will be asked to change this password for security reasons. Once you have logged in you will be able to see your generation and rewards. We suggest spending some time navigating through the tabs and familiarising yourself with the Portal.
If you didn’t receive the Welcome Email please get in contact with us via email or telephone so we can arrange for this to be resent.
In the first instance it might be easier to change your new router to use your old Wi-Fi ID and Password then you won't have to change all of your devices.
If you prefer to update the SmartMiner settings, below are the steps you should follow:
While we trust you should have no problem configuring the new WiFi, please let us know if you need further assistance.
When you purchased your Rowan Rewards Package from our official distributor, you would have been set up on our Standard 5kWp residential Package.
If you are on a Standard 5kWp Package, you will be rewarded for a 5kWp PV array equivalent of your generation.
For example - If you have a 10kWp PV array, then you will be rewarded for half of the generation, if you have an 8kWp PV array, then your reward would be calculated as 5/8.
This is why you might see a difference between your generation and your rewards on the Rowan Energy Portal.
When you sign up to Rowan Rewards, we give you access to a simple, easy-to-use portal that you can access from your computer or mobile phone. This shows you the important information such as how much energy you have generated, how many Reward Points you have and how much they are worth, and how much you can redeem and spend.
Currently you can redeem your points via PayPal.
To do this you need to have a PayPal account set up. Once you have a PayPal account, you need to add the email address linked to the PayPal account to the customer Portal.
You will find this under the ‘Account’ section and ‘Connect your conversion account’
Please note, in the coming weeks Rowan Rewards will be introducing a direct bank transfer option to the Customer Portal. All of our customers will be notified when this option is available.
Rowan Rewards are calculated based on 1 point is = 1 pence.
If you are on the Standard 5kWp Package, which is sold by our distributors then you would receive rewards based on 5kWp.
For example - If you have a 10kWp PV array then you will be rewarded for half of the generation, if you have 8kWp then your reward would be calculated as 5/8.
The Client Terms of Service can be found on the Customer Portal. The link to this document is on the bottom left hand side of the screen once you log in. If these Terms of Service are updated you will be notified and asked to read them before entering the Portal.
Rowan Energy was founded by David Duckworth after many years of experience in the energy industry. He saw the flaws of the current system, of established monopoly players, and the failings of them to support home renewable energy. In his words, "Am I the only one who thinks selling your energy to the grid for 5p per kWh and then buying back in the evening for 13p is just bonkers?".
He realised that new technology allowed a change to the ecosystem, to fairly reward people who generated energy from renewable sources and encourage more people to do so.
SmartMiners will validate transactions on our low-power, low-carbon blockchain. Rowan Energy also uses your anonymised information for things such as to create carbon offset certificates. These can then be sold to businesses or individuals looking to offset their carbon footprint. In return, we are able to offer you the Rowan Rewards.
Rowan Energy, the company behind the Rowan Rewards, have several partnerships in place with existing solar suppliers who are happy to talk to you about a complete package of a solar installation together with the Rowan Rewards.
