Abstract

A method for a renewable energy generating system is provided. The renewable energy generating system includes the following steps: —determining, by a first energy meter, a produced energy amount of the renewable energy generating system in the predetermined period of time; —verifying the produced energy amount of the renewable energy generating system in the predetermined period of time; —issuing, by a computing unit, an energy certificate for the renewable energy generating system for the predetermined period of time, where the energy certificate at least comprises a time stamp indicating the predetermined period of time, an identifier indicating the one or group of renewable energy generators having produced the energy amount, and the produced energy amount; —encrypting, by the computing unit, the energy certificated; and —adding, by the computing unit, the encrypted energy certificate to a block of a blockchain or a distributed ledger application as a digital output.
