Microgrid Settlement Layer

Trade sunshine locally.
Skip the utility middleman.

Deploy a local peer-to-peer energy trading dApp where prosumers sell excess rooftop solar to neighbors at better rates than feed-in tariffs, with settlement automated and transparent. Consumers access local renewable energy and no central utility sits between the meter and the payment.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn low feed-in tariffs into a fair local market that settles solar between neighbors automatically.

01.

Local Price Discovery

The Microgrid Settlement module lets prosumers and consumers clear energy at a local price above the feed-in tariff and below the utility import rate, so both sides win.

02.

Metered Delivery Proof

The Energy Meter Oracle confirms exactly how much energy flowed from a prosumer to a buyer, so payment settles on delivered kilowatt hours, not estimates.

03.

Token Settlement

The ERC-20 Token module carries value between wallets, clearing each trade in seconds without a utility invoice or bank transfer in the loop.

04.

Automated Clearing

Trades match and settle continuously across the microgrid, removing the manual reconciliation a utility would otherwise perform each billing cycle.

05.

Prosumer Uplift

Because sellers bypass the low feed-in tariff, a housing society's prosumers can earn several times what the utility would pay for the same surplus.

06.

Transparent Ledger

Every trade, price, and settlement is visible to residents, so there is no invoice dispute and the community can audit the market at any time.

The Microgrid Trading Lifecycle

Follow a single kilowatt hour of rooftop solar from generation through a neighbor's purchase to automated settlement.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes peer-to-peer energy trading into modular contracts. Each layer lists surplus, matches orders, confirms delivery, and settles value without a central utility.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Peer-to-peer energy trading is a horizontal capability. Here is how different microgrid communities put the shared market to work.

Housing Societies

Let residents trade rooftop solar among themselves at rates well above the feed-in tariff, keeping renewable value inside the community with transparent, automated settlement.

Key Asset Types

  1. 1Surplus Listings
  2. 2Local Trades
  3. 3Resident Wallets

Commercial Campuses

Balance solar across tenants and shared loads on a private microgrid, settling internal energy transfers without routing every kilowatt hour through the utility.

Key Asset Types

  1. 1Tenant Meters
  2. 2Campus Trades
  3. 3Internal Settlements

Rural Microgrids

Give off-grid and weak-grid villages a fair local market for distributed solar, so generation is monetized locally even where utility infrastructure is thin.

  2. 2Distributed Solar
  3. 3Community Ledgers

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging smart meter gateways or letting prosumer apps trade natively from a wallet, Cerulea routes both into one microgrid market.

Track A: Smart Meter Gateway Bridging

For microgrids with metering gateways. Interval data is translated into signed on-chain surplus and delivery records through the API gateway.

Track B: Native Prosumer Trading

For prosumers on a mobile dApp. A wallet signs each listing and trade and routes it directly to the microgrid market.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects distributed energy platform benchmarks. Writing custom matching logic, integrating meter feeds, and deploying token settlement for an average microgrid takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your market and settlement rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the microgrid ledger instantly.
