SolarPVInvestor Forums

Currently SPVI articles are indexed under the Google News (all) and Google Finance (some). I am hoping to attract value content to the site by using already great resources and gathering of minds we have here. If you interested to offer your views to greater community than just solar forums here, perhaps you will be interested.

This is my proposal to add a bit more value to already good value offered here.
Anyone who is interested to become a contributor for SPVI can submit his/hers interest by using this form , subject "SPVI Contributor"

Upon an interest, we will provide you with the access to the site, where you can submit articles. Articles must contain at least one US-listed solar company (must be noted in the article using Google Finance ticket system), but can include all variety of topics: technology, markets, and operations, global, local and any other background.

The SPVI will offer professional proofread for articles which will be accepted for publication by the committee consisting of long-term members. The material will be reviewed for accuracy and facts. Links, to support statements/facts will be
required. Articles will be reviewed with 24 hours of submission.

Normally our articles have on average around 500 to 1000 unique views, (as per Google analytics). SPVI will offer $15 CAD per 500 unique visitors for published article. This will be based on 30 days running from the date of the publication. The committee will confirm the statistics and update authors using Google analytics. Article size maximum 1200 words (without charts, tables etc.). Article can be longer, but the additional cost of the proofread will be shared above the limit of words. Normally it costs $1 per 100 words, so 1500 words article will cost additional $3.00. If the article like that has minimum 500 unique views we will deduct the $3.00 from the payout. Payment is made for 500 unique views or more. No payments are made below 500 unique views. each 100 views pay additional $3.00. This is CAD $.

The author is required to have first and last name (it does not have to be a real name but encouraged). There will be a disclosure requirement on stock ownership. Articles need to be original and cannot appear in any other publication. Payments would be made by PayPal.


I am looking for you feedback.

thank you for the feedback. the 30 days rule is basically the amount of the time article can logically be within the focus.
It takes also costs away from running total 5 years down the road. Simply I do not have resources, but whatever I make here I want to put back to work for the community.

I have created a platform for submission of articles. I learned a bit of the limitation on current CMS. But we are ready. I have three long term members commit to become a review panel for articles. I hope that rules are simple enough.
Explo, Eystein, Littleguy, Nano and others SPVI needs your knowledge to create new value content.
SPVI will finance the proof read and edit.
Let us know by submitting your interest.

Further to rules, I mentioned that article which has less than 500 unique views will not generate payment. If that is the case we will add all under the 500 unique page views together (if payment is not earned on results of power of one article)
to generate payment, but these articles will be no longer eligible for calculation.

Examples of payments :
Period of calendar 30 days. June 14th publication time ends July 14.
Single article : 500 unique views= $15 CAD, each subsequent 100 pays $3. so
600 or more =$15+3,
700 or more =$15+3+3

Combined payment:

380 views in 30 days
480 views in 30 days
total views 860, payment of $15 plus $9 will be issued.

Thanks for the interest Nano, looking forward to it.

Lady who is employed by SPVI in the capacity of the Senior Editor, Stephanie.
You can see menu link title "SPVI Author" I still have to edit that text.

I am struggling with the ability to show the results in independent format "GA to User". It will have to be verified by committee for now.
