The Problem

Large scale solar is inefficient, opaque, and as an asset, untrusted.

There is a lack of data at panel level that leaves operators, financiers and insurers guessing. This creates the overbuilding of assets and unverified generation data, priced as risk by financiers and insurers.

The net effect
A lower percentage of projects are financeable.

Unity Chip on a solar panel
Our Solution

Sunified’s trust infrastructure starts with an inexpensive deep tech chip.

The Unity Chip is manufactured into every solar panel and battery module, delivering treasury-grade data and energy security.

It measures every 30 seconds and signs each reading with a key that never leaves the silicon. At the gateway, a hardware security module countersigns every payload. Verified readings are sealed into a hash chain and anchored every five minutes.

Unity · Solar Digitised

Data Flywheel.

One verified data source. Concurrent, compounding revenue streams. Each Unity-signed reading serves eight markets at once; aggregated across parks, network effects compound value across the energy value chain.
