$BRYTR Token Gives Accredited Investors Access to Revenue From the Residential Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) Market

ATLANTA, GA - April 22, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - CarbonEnfo®, a cleantech company accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon economy and the developer of Brytr™, the first blockchain-verified marketplace for tokenized U.S. Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), today announced the launch of $BRYTR, a $4.5 million Security Token Offering (STO). The offering, available exclusively through tZERO®, a leading innovator in blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, provides accredited U.S. investors with a share of the net revenue generated by Brytr’s aggregation and sale of residential and small business SRECs.

A massive structural inefficiency exists in the U.S. solar market. In 2026, U.S. solar arrays will generate an estimated 107 million MWh of clean energy. Yet of the approximately 28 million MWh generated by distributed residential and commercial systems in voluntary (non-compliance) markets, CarbonEnfo's internal analysis, drawing on Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory data, finds that 74% of SRECs – approximately $1.4 billion – remains inaccessible because individual owners lack the infrastructure to aggregate and sell their certificates to corporate buyers.

Brytr’s platform harvests this fragmented supply directly through API integrations with leading inverter manufacturers – including Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla and SMA – that together represent a majority share of the U.S. residential inverter market. $BRYTR token holders receive 12% of Net Platform Revenue from every SREC sold, with revenue participation rights paid in USD stablecoin and a maximum cumulative distribution cap of 3X the initial token price.

“There’s over a billion dollars in clean energy value being generated every year that never reaches a buyer, not because demand isn’t there, but because the infrastructure to unlock it simply didn’t exist until now,” said Mark Bell, CEO and co-founder of CarbonEnfo. “Brytr is that infrastructure, and the blockchain layer ensures every SREC a corporate buyer purchases is exactly what it claims to be, verified from the rooftop to the registry. Tokenization doesn’t replace the physical world. It simply changes how capital connects to it.”

“Tokenization allows investors to engage with infrastructure assets that historically sat outside traditional investment channels,” said Alan Konevsky, CEO at tZERO. “This offering illustrates how regulated blockchain-based securities can help unlock new sources of value while supporting broader market participation in the clean energy economy and we are delighted that the CarbonEnfo team is using our market-leading infrastructure.” 

Offering Details

The residential market is only part of the story. Typical small-scale commercial solar installations generate more than 400 renewable energy credits per year - over 34 times the output of an average home system. Brytr's platform serves both markets through a single interface, allowing homeowners and commercial operators alike to verify, bundle, and sell their credits directly to corporate buyers.

The $BRYTR offering also reflects a broader shift in financial markets toward investments tied to yield-bearing infrastructure assets. As major institutions like BlackRock and JPMorgan explore digital infrastructure for assets like real estate and commodities, CarbonEnfo is applying a similar approach to renewable energy credits – recurring, verifiable assets backed by long-term solar production.

CarbonEnfo received Fortune 500-level validation when Cox Enterprises, a strategic investor through its Cox Cleantech division, partnered on a pilot program onboarding employees’ residential solar systems to the Brytr platform. The pilot confirmed strong adoption and proved the platform’s ability to verify and aggregate high-quality renewable energy credits from distributed rooftop installations.

Accredited U.S. investors may access the $BRYTR offering documents and participate through tZERO’s brokerage platform. For more information, visit tzero.com/trade#offerings or contact CarbonEnfo Investor Relations at 404.445.8967 or invest@carbonenfo.io.
