This week,the SunSpec Alliance and XBRL US announced the launch of a 30-day public review period for the initial draft of their Orange Button taxonomy for solar financing.

The taxonomy,developed as part of the U.S.Department of Energy SunShot Initiative’s Orange Button program aims to make it easier to aggregate and share data about proposed and operating solar facilities.Providing aurate,timely and parable information in structured form should lead to more efficient and st-effective financing of energy projects.

“Standardizing data llection is a critical means to rce the soft sts of solar financing,”said Tom Tansy,Chairman of SunSpec Alliance.

XBRL was chosen for Orange Button because it is a free,open-aess global standard,uniquely suited to handling financial data.

XBRL US has led the development of the taxonomy.

From XBRL International’s perspective,the project is important because it demonstrates the benefits of cross industry llaboration that makes it possible to drive down data management and llection sts.Rather than regulatory data,the Solar Button project demonstrates the way that investors can make finely calibrated project finance decisions with enhanced,structured and digital information.

This is an initial draft of the taxonomy.It is likely that additional ncepts and more detail will be added going forward.
