Tokens
AUTOPV™ uses tokens to facilitate project development. This makes it easy to estimate the cost of a project design. This prepaid approach gives users control over the timing and amount spent on current and future projects.
Value of Tokens
Our Concept Tokens allow users to produce early-stage development or concept designs of projects. One Concept Token buys one full Concept Design iteration of a 1MWdc project, meaning 50 Concept Tokens are required to complete one design iteration for a 50MWdc project. Additional iterations are priced the same; in other words, three iterations of a single 50MWdc project would require 150 Concept Tokens.
Tokens are not linked to specific projects and can be used across multiple projects of varying sizes once purchased.
A single Concept Design iteration provides access to a concept-level Bill of Quantities, Energy Yield report and an AutoCAD-compatible DXF file of the project layout.
Token consumption
For Concept Designs, Tokens are only consumed once the design iteration has successfully run. This means a user can generate multiple layouts by changing layout and/or equipment configurations without consuming any Tokens. Once the desired layout has been saved and the user selects to run their concept design, AUTOPV™ will calculate the required number of Tokens based on the layout's MWdc capacity. The Tokens will only be consumed if a user has a sufficient Token balance and once the user confirms the Token spend.
