MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133838 A) filed by Mr. S. M. Likith; Dr. Sowjanya Lakshmi A; Ms. Mamatha Rani B. M; Mr. Partha M. N; Mr. Pavan Prakash Pai; and Mr. Paurush Mishra, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'a cluster-based decentralized system and method for peer-to-peer solar energy trading.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. S. M. Likith; Dr. Sowjanya Lakshmi A.; Ms. Mamatha Rani B. M.; Mr. Partha M. N.; Mr. Pavan Prakash Pai; and Mr. Paurush Mishra.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention proposes a scalable decentralized system for peer-to-peer solar energy trading using a cluster-based coordination framework and layered blockchain architecture. Smart meters record real-time energy production and consumption data, which is locally synchronized within geographically proximate clusters using a lightweight consensus mechanism. Energy trades are executed through smart contracts deployed on a Layer 2 blockchain network, enabling low-latency and cost-efficient settlement. Periodic summaries of completed transactions are committed to a base blockchain layer to ensure integrity and auditability. The system supports proximity-based matchmaking, real-time pricing, and secure redistribution of surplus energy, thereby reducing transmission losses and reliance on centralized energy infrastructure."
