HDM Solar Wholesale, a national wholesaler of renewable energy products, is pleased to announce a partnership with Rowan Energy, a British green tech pioneer specialising in blockchain-backed renewable energy solutions.

This collaboration will make Rowan Energy’s SmartMiner devices and the transformational Rowan Rewards Package available to HDM Solar Wholesale’s extensive network of solar installers, delivering significant additional value to residential and commercial solar projects.

Since the end of the UK’s solar feed-in tariff in 2019, and with grid rates dropping as low as 5p per kWh, these reduced financial returns have affected the viability of solar projects. The Rowan Energy SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package addresses this challenge and transforms the financial case for the consumer and businesses. The Rowan Rewards Package reduces the payback period significantly for the consumer and encourages a more sustainable lifestyle.

Using an advanced, MID-certified smart meter provides real-time validation of generation data, that is then tokenised by Rowan Energy to generate verified real-time carbon offset certificates.

David Duckworth, CEO and Founder of Rowan Energy, commented:

“We’re thrilled to partner with HDM Solar Wholesale to bring the SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package to more households and businesses. The SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package goes beyond energy monitoring, as it provides solar installers with an easy-to-install solution that enables consumers to earn an extra £0.10 per kWh on energy generation up to a 5kWp cap. This could mean that a consumer can reasonably expect up to £450 in additional income per year for a standard 5kWp solar package. This is a crucial step towards making solar more attractive and rewarding.”

HDM Solar Wholesale is known for delivering the latest and most efficient solar products to installers and is excited to introduce Rowan Energy’s technology to its network. The compact SmartMiner can be installed quickly in any solar setup and can be retrofitted or added to projects of any scale. This flexibility allows installers to offer clients a sustainable and profitable energy solution.

Rowan Energy is bringing a three-phase solution to market in Q1 2025, and this will be a game-changer for businesses seeking to install large solar arrays, reduce their carbon output and achieve climate goals.

Adam Firth, Managing Director of HDM Solar Wholesale, added:

“HDM Solar Wholesale is committed to giving our installers access to groundbreaking solutions, and the SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package is exactly that. By adding Rowan Energy’s technology to our range, we’re enabling installers to differentiate their offering with a device that not only supports sustainability but also opens new revenue streams. We’re looking forward to seeing how installers incorporate the SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package into their projects.”

With 1100+ SmartMiner installations already measuring 9MWp and generating about 8.5m kWh of renewable energy across the UK, Rowan Energy’s proven technology brings a valuable and innovative dimension to solar systems.

Rowan Energy provides installers with comprehensive training and certification to ensure successful implementation and optimal use of the SmartMiner technology. Installers interested in the SmartMiner and Rowan Rewards Package can get in touch with HDM Solar Wholesale via email at trade@hdmsolar.co.uk or call 0800 0016 802.
