Launch HN: Jasmine (YC S22) – Automating REC compliance and payouts for solar
Hi HN — we’re Nathalie, Dalton, Vince, and Matt, and we’re launching Jasmine Energy ( https://www.jasmine.energy ), a tool that helps residential and commercial solar owners automatically register their systems, track energy generation, and get paid for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). RECs are tradeable certificates for clean electricity, issued by energy markets across the US. Most people with rooftop or small commercial solar have never heard of them, let alone claimed them, but they’re real! They are typically bought by utilities or companies to meet climate targets. The problem is, the process to claim and sell RECs is a mess—designed decades ago for utility-scale players, not individuals or small businesses. To register a system and start claiming RECs, you usually have to: Navigate one of 10+ regional REC registries, each with its own documentation, forms, and rules
