Core Technical Capabilities
We build the foundational infrastructure for reliable, high-volume micro-payments, enabling new revenue models for renewable energy producers and grid operators.
Lightning Network Node Infrastructure
Deploy and manage dedicated, high-availability Lightning nodes with multi-path payment channels for instant, sub-cent settlements between energy producers and consumers.
IoT Integration & Metering
Secure, real-time data ingestion from smart meters and IoT devices. We build the on-chain logic that triggers payments based on verifiable energy production or consumption data.
Custom LSP & Liquidity Management
Design and operate a Lightning Service Provider (LSP) tailored for energy markets. We manage inbound/outbound liquidity pools to ensure payment reliability at scale.
Atomic Swap Oracles
Develop secure oracle services that attest to off-chain energy events (kWh generated) and trigger atomic, trust-minimized payments on the Lightning Network.
Scalable Channel Management
Implement automated systems for opening, monitoring, and closing thousands of payment channels. Includes watchtower integration for 24/7 security against channel breaches.
Regulatory & Reporting Layer
Build compliant reporting tools that generate auditable transaction logs for energy credits (RECs), tax purposes, and grid operator settlements, bridging on-chain activity with legacy systems.
Business Outcomes for Energy Platforms
Deploying Lightning Network micropayments delivers measurable improvements in operational efficiency, revenue generation, and customer engagement. Here are the specific outcomes we deliver.
Real-Time Revenue Settlement
Convert energy generation into immediate revenue. We implement LN-powered smart meters that settle payments per kilowatt-hour, eliminating 30-60 day billing cycles and improving cash flow.
Automated P2P Energy Trading
Enable prosumers to sell surplus solar/wind power directly to neighbors. Our custom LN node integration with grid APIs facilitates automated, trustless transactions at sub-cent granularity.
Reduced Payment Processing Costs
Bypass traditional payment rails and their 2-3% fees. Lightning Network transactions incur negligible costs, allowing you to retain more revenue from small-ticket, high-frequency energy sales.
Enhanced Grid Stability & Demand Response
Incentivize consumption shifts during peak loads with instant micropayment rewards. Our systems trigger automated LN payments to users who reduce usage, improving grid balance.
Seamless EV Charging Payments
Implement frictionless pay-per-use for EV charging stations. Drivers pay automatically via Lightning for exact energy consumed, with no app downloads or pre-registration required.
Tailored for Energy Market Applications
Our Lightning Network infrastructure is engineered to solve the unique challenges of decentralized energy markets, from real-time settlement to consumer-grade UX.
Real-Time Energy Settlement
Enable instant, sub-second payment finality for energy trades, eliminating the settlement delays and credit risk of traditional billing cycles. Integrates directly with IoT meters and grid APIs.
Granular P2P Energy Trading
Build peer-to-peer energy marketplaces where prosumers can sell excess solar/wind generation directly to neighbors. Features automated matching, dynamic pricing, and transparent ledgers.
EV Charging & Micropayments
Implement pay-per-use EV charging with frictionless Lightning payments. Drivers pay for exact energy consumed without pre-funding wallets or managing subscriptions.
Carbon Credit Micropayments
Facilitate automated, verifiable payments for carbon offset projects and RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates). Each transaction is immutably recorded on-chain for audit compliance.
Grid Balancing Incentives
Create systems to reward consumers for demand response. Pay micro-bounties via Lightning for reducing consumption during peak loads, helping stabilize the grid.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Deploy with confidence. Our node infrastructure follows financial-grade security practices, including multi-sig setups, regular audits, and compliance-ready transaction reporting.

Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a production-ready Lightning Network micropayment system for your green energy platform, from concept to launch.
Architecture & Design
We design a scalable system architecture, selecting optimal Lightning Network implementations (LND, Core Lightning) and defining payment channel strategies for high-volume, low-value energy transactions.
Smart Contract & Node Integration
Develop and audit the on-chain settlement layer (e.g., Taproot assets) and integrate with managed Lightning nodes. We implement automated channel rebalancing and liquidity management.
API & Frontend Development
Build a secure REST/WebSocket API for your platform and a user-friendly frontend for energy producers/consumers to initiate and track micropayments in real-time.
Deployment & Monitoring
We deploy the full stack to your cloud environment (AWS/GCP) with infrastructure-as-code. Set up comprehensive monitoring for node health, channel liquidity, and transaction success rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how we build, secure, and deploy Lightning-powered micro-payment solutions for the energy sector.
A standard integration for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading or EV charging payments takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes requirements analysis, smart contract/LN node development, security audit, and integration with your existing systems. More complex grid-balancing solutions with automated oracles can extend to 8-10 weeks.
