ABOUT ORANGE BUTTON:
Orange Button(SM) is an open data exchange standard for the distributed solar PV industry. Comprised of information models, a standard taxonomy, a standard Application Program Interface (API), and supporting compliance test suites, Orange Button enables the free flow of data between information systems used in the solar asset lifecycle.
A public/private partnership funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Sunshot Initiative, Orange Button leverages the idea that commercial enterprises in the solar industry are incented, by market forces, to share data with each other in order to achieve operational efficiency and financial gain.
ABOUT THE TAXONOMY:
This taxonomy was developed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative’s Orange Button program. Orange Button aims to make it easier to access and share solar data, facilitating more efficient and cost-effective financing of distributed energy projects.
SunSpec Alliance heads the Orange Button project team that is tasked with establishing an open, easy-to-adopt, solar data architecture, and standards. XBRL US leads the effort to build the financial portion of Orange Button standards, leveraging elements from the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy for public companies, and from existing solar data standards.
The initial 30-day public review for the draft Solar Financing Taxonomy will be open through October 13, 2017. We encourage all interested parties to review and provide feedback. Learn more about this project.
