Your approved machine joins the network and reports its available capabilities.
For SolarCompute Hosts
Turn verified energy use into Host earnings.
When your connected machine completes eligible network workloads, SolarCompute records its verified energy use and applies the active Host energy rate.
Estimate earnings
See what verified workload energy could earn.
Enter the amount of electricity your machine uses while completing eligible SolarCompute workloads. This guide uses the current network rate.
kWh
Estimated Host earnings—Waiting for current rate
Estimate only. Final earnings depend on verified records, eligibility, the rate effective when the usage occurred and the applicable Host terms.
From workload to payout
Every earning must connect back to completed work.
SolarCompute separates estimated activity from approved earnings so Hosts can see how each amount progresses.
Complete
The machine completes an eligible workload assigned through SolarCompute.
Verify
Workload runtime and attributable energy records are checked under network rules.
Calculate
The rate effective for that usage is applied to verified kilowatt-hours.
Approve
Eligible earnings move from pending review into the approved Host balance.
Pay
Approved funds are sent using the Host’s selected available payout method.
Secure payout choice
Choose how you receive approved funds.
Hosts can select an available PayPal or Stripe-supported payout option. SolarCompute records the payout instruction while the selected provider securely processes the payment.
Provider availability, account verification, fees, currency conversion and processing times may vary. The Host dashboard should show the applicable details before a payout is confirmed.
PayPal
PayPal
Receive approved payouts through the PayPal account selected for your Host profile.
stripe
Stripe
Use a supported Stripe payout connection where available for your Host account.
✓
Payment details stay protected. Use provider-hosted account connection and verification flows. SolarCompute should not ask Hosts to send payment credentials by email or chat.
Clear payout reporting
Know what is recorded, approved and paid.
Host reporting distinguishes operational activity from money ready for payment.
Pending verification
Usage has been recorded but is still being checked against eligible workload and energy records.
Approved balance
Verified earnings have passed network checks and are eligible for the applicable payout process.
Paid
The payout has been submitted through the selected payment provider with a reference and date.
What counts
Eligible verified usage—not total household power.
The Host energy rate applies only to electricity attributed to eligible SolarCompute workload activity under the network’s operating rules.
- IncludedApproved workload runtime and attributable machine energy that passes verification.
- Not automatically includedIdle time, unrelated computer use, household consumption or unverified readings.
- Rate protected by timeHistorical usage keeps the policy rate applicable to that usage; later changes should not retrospectively reprice it.
- Private by designPublic reporting should never expose a Host’s identity, address, payment account or private energy records.
Host payout questions
What Hosts should know.
Is the displayed energy rate current?
Yes. This page reads the active Host energy rate from SolarCompute’s public network policy endpoint. The rate can change as network capacity and demand change.
Does the rate apply to all electricity used in my home?
No. It applies only to energy attributed to eligible SolarCompute workload activity and accepted through the platform’s verification process.
Can I choose PayPal or Stripe?
Hosts can choose from the payout methods made available for their account. Availability and provider requirements can vary by account, location and payout configuration.
When will I be paid?
The Host dashboard should show pending, approved and paid amounts together with the applicable payout schedule, threshold and provider status. Amounts still being verified are not yet payable.
Can a network rate change affect earlier usage?
SolarCompute’s policy is versioned by effective date. Verified historical usage should retain the rate that applied when that usage occurred rather than being recalculated at a later rate.
