Already have — or plan — home solar, a heat pump, and an EV charger? Submit each as a separate verified deed on RippleRoot to grow RootScore™ faster. Proof checklists, US and Canada tips, and how the home energy stack works together.

You do not have to pick only one climate upgrade. A home energy stack — solar panels, a heat pump, and a home EV charger — is three separate verified deeds on RippleRoot. Submit each with its own proof and you can add RootScore™ points and token rewards for every approved installation.
This guide explains how stacking works, what to document for each system, and how US and Canadian homeowners can submit without mixing government incentives with platform rewards.
A home energy stack is the combination of on-site generation, efficient heating and cooling, and electric vehicle charging in one household. Solar produces electricity. A heat pump uses that electricity efficiently to heat and cool. A Level 2 EV charger uses electricity to replace gasoline miles. Together they cut household fossil-fuel use more than any single upgrade.
On RippleRoot they are still three deeds:
Solar panel installation
Heat pump installation (air-source, ductless mini-split, or ground-source)
Home EV charger installation (typically Level 2 / 240V)
Each needs its own submission and its own proof. Approval of one does not automatically credit the others.
Create one free account and complete identity verification once (valid ID or driver’s license plus a selfie). Connect a VeChain-compatible wallet such as VeWorld. Then submit each installation separately.
After admin review of each packet, approved deeds add points to your RootScore™ and tokens are sent to the connected wallet. Exact point values can vary with system scale, documentation quality, and platform rules at the time of review. Check the current submission form. RippleRoot does not sell tokens, charge fees for individual participation, or require you to buy anything.
Prepare a separate packet for solar, the heat pump, and the charger.
Shared identity items (once per account)
Valid ID or driver’s license
A selfie that matches the account holder
Solar
Photos of the array from more than one angle
Installer invoice or receipt with date and approximate capacity in kW
Permit, inspection, or interconnection documents when available
Optional monitoring screenshot that shows system size
Heat pump
Photos of the outdoor unit and indoor equipment (air handlers, heads, or related interfaces)
Licensed HVAC contractor invoice listing type and approximate capacity (tons or kW)
Permit, inspection, or commissioning documents when available
EV charger
Photos of the mounted charger
Licensed electrician invoice
Permit or inspection certificate when available
Brand/model, amperage or power rating, and location (garage, driveway, exterior wall)
Clear, dated invoices that name the equipment speed up review.
Create a free account — Sign up and complete identity verification.
Connect a wallet — Use VeWorld or another VeChain-compatible wallet.
Inventory what you already have — Note capacity, dates, and which documents you can find.
Submit solar first if you have it — Capacity-stated invoices are the strongest solar proof.
Submit the heat pump — Include type (air-source, mini-split, or geothermal) and capacity.
Submit the EV charger — Include Level 2 rating details when known.
Track each review separately — One approval does not replace the others.
Add complementary deeds — Volunteering and verified donations can further raise RootScore™.
You can submit in any order. Many homeowners start with the system that has the clearest paperwork.
Solar changes when the home has on-site supply. A heat pump is a large, relatively steady electrical load for heating and cooling. An EV charger is a flexible load that can often wait for midday solar or off-peak hours. Planning them as one household system improves self-consumption of on-site generation.
That energy logic is separate from RippleRoot scoring. Platform points come from verified installations, not from measured kWh. Still, documenting all three is both good household practice and the fastest way to stack eligible deeds.
If you later add other supported actions — volunteering, donations, recycling, rainwater harvesting, or green transport — those are additional submissions, not substitutes for the three hardware deeds.
Use licensed solar, HVAC, and electrical contractors and keep the full invoices
Retain permits and final inspections; they strengthen proof
Photograph finished equipment in good light from multiple angles
Panel upgrades are common when adding a charger or heat pump — include those invoices only as supporting context for the related deed
Federal, state, and utility programs change and are independent of RippleRoot. RippleRoot does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Confirm current rules with official sources.
Use licensed electrical and HVAC contractors and keep dated invoices
Keep provincial electrical safety authority notices or inspection certificates when required
Photograph outdoor equipment when light and weather allow
Provincial and utility programs remain separate from RootScore™ points and tokens
Look for complementary Volunteer Opportunities in your province
Do not merge three systems into one upload — reviewers need a distinct packet per deed
Label files clearly — solar invoice, heat pump photos, charger permit
Submit promptly — fresh documentation is easier to verify
Match details across photos and invoices — capacity, brand, and address should agree
Monitor the leaderboard — higher RootScore™ can unlock marketplace benefits such as discounts
RootScore™ is RippleRoot’s proprietary impact scoring system. It aggregates verified user contributions — solar installations, EV chargers, heat pumps, volunteer hours, donations, and other green deeds — into a transparent community score. The score determines leaderboard ranking and can enable marketplace benefits based on demonstrated community impact. Only admin- or partner-verified actions add points.
Can I submit all three systems if they were installed in different years?
Yes. Each deed is reviewed on its own proof. Current photos plus original invoices or permits are acceptable when the equipment is still installed.
Do I earn more if the three systems are used together?
Stacking means three separate verified deeds, not a bonus multiplier. Using solar to run a heat pump or charge an EV is good energy practice; RippleRoot points still come from approved submissions.
What if I only have two of the three?
Submit what you have. You can add the third later when it is installed and documented.
Are home batteries required?
No. A battery can help a household use more of its own solar, but battery storage is not required to submit solar, a heat pump, or an EV charger.
Are RippleRoot rewards the same as utility virtual power plant or rebate programs?
No. Utility bill credits, rebates, and tax rules are separate. RippleRoot rewards verified good deeds with points and tokens.
Does RippleRoot cost money to use?
No. Individual and business registration and basic participation are free.
If solar, a heat pump, or a home EV charger is already on your property — or about to be — gather photos and invoices, create your free account, and submit each system on its own. Every approved installation strengthens your RootScore™.
