The idea of Solar Dividends first appeared in September 2019 when Robert Stayton published his groundbreaking book Solar Dividends: How Solar Energy Can Generate a Basic Income for Everyone on Earth. The book presents a long-term plan to roll out Solar Dividends everywhere over the next several decades.

Since this has never been done before, the first step is to create a pilot project that shows how it would work and what the benefits are. That would demonstrate that it is not just a dream but that it works at a practical level. Solar Dividend advocates are actively pursuing creating pilot projects in the US and elsewhere. Watch for forthcoming news on this subject.
