Direct provision of photovoltaic instruments associated with aggregated photovoltaic installations

A server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises code executable by the processor for implementing a method for associating a plurality of aggregated photovoltaic installations with a intermediary and providing a photovoltaic instrument associated with the intermediary directly to a consumer, the method comprising:
• receiving a request from the consumer for the photovoltaic instrument, the request being received from a computing device operated by the consumer;
• providing the photovoltaic instrument directly to the consumer, the photovoltaic instrument being associated with the intermediary, and the intermediary being one of a plurality of intermediaries;
• monitoring a power value generated by at least one of the plurality of photovoltaic installations;
• and
• processing a plurality of photovoltaic transfers, wherein a transfer in the plurality of photovoltaic transfers includes value data that is based upon the monitored power value, and wherein the processing includes:
• transmitting the value data based upon the monitored power value to the intermediary;
• transmitting the value data based upon the monitored power value from the intermediary to a value holding entity;
• and
• if one or more criteria of the photovoltaic instrument is met, transmitting at least a portion of the value data based upon the monitored power value from the value holding entity directly to the consumer.

A method performed by a server for associating a plurality of aggregated renewable energy installations with a intermediary and providing a renewable energy instrument associated with the intermediary directly to a consumer, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the server, a request from the consumer for the renewable energy instrument, the request being received from a computing device operated by the consumer;
• providing, by the server, the renewable energy instrument directly to the consumer, the renewable energy instrument being associated with the intermediary, and the intermediary being one of a plurality of intermediaries;
• monitoring, by the server, a power value generated by at least one of the plurality of renewable energy installations;
• and
• processing, by the server, a plurality of renewable energy transfers, wherein a transfer in the plurality of renewable energy transfers includes value data that is based upon the monitored power value, and wherein the processing includes:
• transmitting the value data based upon the monitored power value to the intermediary;
• transmitting the value data based upon the monitored power value from the intermediary to a value holding entity;
• and
• if one or more criteria of the renewable energy instrument is met, transmitting at least a portion of the value data based upon the monitored power value from the value holding entity directly to the consumer.
