InfraVeritas Energy verifies renewable generation at the source — hardware-signed at the meter, proven with zero-knowledge, and cross-checked against the physical world before any certificate, registry, or grid operator can touch it. A green certificate is a claim. This is the proof beneath it.
Every renewable certificate, guarantee of origin, and carbon credit rests on a claim about a physical event — power generated, at a place, at a time. Today that claim is verified by operator self-reporting and certificate registries: the exact surface where REC fraud, carbon-credit collapses, and double-counting scandals originated.
A REC, a guarantee of origin, a carbon credit — each is a paper claim. The document is treated as ground truth, even when nothing independent confirms the generation behind it.
In 2023, over 90% of a major registry's carbon credits were found to have no underlying physical reality. The methodology was approved. The auditors were credentialed. The physical world bore no relationship to the paper.
Hourly, location-matched accounting sharpens what the paperwork can express. It cannot sharpen what the meter actually saw. Higher resolution on unverified inputs produces more precise fiction, not more truth.
What does not yet exist at scale: a way to prove the measurement itself — at the meter, before it enters any system that could alter it. That is the layer InfraVeritas Energy builds.
A tamper-evident module reads generation at the asset and signs it inside a hardware-secure element — a private key that cannot be exported even if the enclosure is forced open. From that point the reading is cryptographically bound to its origin, and independently checked against the weather. No registry, operator, or intermediary can rewrite it without detection.
The module reads voltage and current directly at the array — the physical generation, at the asset itself.
Each reading is signed inside a secure element (ATECC608B). Time is anchored via GPS. The key never leaves the chip.
Signed readings are aggregated into a succinct proof — verifiable without exposing raw operational data.
Claimed generation is checked against independent solar-radiation data for that exact location and hour. Physically impossible readings are flagged.
The proof is committed to Ethereum, where any party can confirm it against the registered device — permanently and publicly.
On 12 June, at 23:13 local time, an InfraVeritas module produced a perfectly valid, hardware-signed record of solar generation — from a lamp running off a battery, with no sun in the sky. The signature was honest. The physics was a lie.
A valid signature over an impossible fact — caught, and visible to anyone. The same public radiation query runs in your browser and returns the same red flag.
One sealed, tamper-evident module. Secure-element signing, GPS time anchoring, and on-board energy metering — inside an enclosure where opening the box breaks the trust seal. The same root of trust the proof above runs on.
This is not a concept deck. The full pipeline runs today on Ethereum's Sepolia testnet, with results on a live public dashboard and the source code openly published.
Source-level verification strengthens the standards that granular and 24/7 clean-energy markets depend on — with privacy and permissioning designed in from the start. The underlying method is published as the IPAS standard (Infrastructure Physical Asset Standard, v1.0); energy is its first proven instance.
