ElectriCChain is a non-profit registered in Andorra, the purpose of the project is to 'connect 7 million global solar facilities watching the skies 24/7 and posting live solar data to 1 Blockchain for scientists, researchers and human progress.'.
We have taken several steps towards this goal:
The first was compiling the SolarCoin core daemon to work on SBCs (Single Board Computers) like the Raspberry Pi, this allows the monitring to occur at very low cost/energy usage, and demonstrates the ability to embed into existing SolarPV hardware.
The second step was developing code to monitor a live solar installation and insert the data into the block-chain, this was achieved in early 2017, and the code has been refined and improved continuously.
The latest step achieved is to read the block-chain, extract the data and visualize that data. Here are those first early readings showing we now have a fully operating Proof of Concept
I will be demonstrating this at Solar & Storage Live at the NEC in Birmingham UK next week, as well as promoting ElectriCChain and SolarCoin at that event.
The future is bright, the future is Block-Chain.
