Abstract Traditionally, the energy industry has been slow in adopting new technologies and the transition to a new energy market will require a new approach by all parties involved in the energy market. Although it is a hard-to-accept scenario, especially by the big players on the power market, the pilot projects so far demonstrate that blockchain can play a major role in the future energy market, even if the technology is still immature from the conceptual point of view. This article attempts to bring solutions to support small farmers in allowing them to use irrigation systems. It proposes to create associations of small farmers to manage this situation. For this purpose, it is proposed to use green energy using photovoltaic panels. The efficiency of the proposed system will be monitored not only by the location and type of photovoltaic panels, but also by using the new blockchain technology that stimulates innovation and growth in the energy, climate and environment sectors. To accelerate the transition to the green energy economy, a SolarCoin version similar to the Bitcoin cryptomonade is also proposed.
