Prevent grid congestion
before it becomes an outage.
GridFlex forecasts where a local feeder will run out of capacity, then coordinates nearby batteries, EVs, buildings, solar and generators to relieve it, with every verified kilowatt settled on Solana.

The grid has capacity. It just isn't coordinated.
As electricity demand grows, local grids increasingly face short periods where demand approaches the limits of transformers, feeders, or distribution zones.
At the same time, batteries, EVs, solar systems, generators, and flexible loads may already exist nearby.

From prediction to settlement, five steps apart.
GridFlex turns a forecasted grid constraint into coordinated local action.

Export additional power during constrained periods.
Store
- Home batteries
- Commercial storage
- Vehicle-to-grid
Release stored energy when local demand is highest.
Shift

- Industrial equipment
Temporarily reduce consumption in exchange for compensation.
Grid intelligence that explains what happens next.
GridFlex combines operational signals with contextual data to identify where local capacity may become constrained and how much flexibility is required.

Grid constraints are local. Flexibility should be too.
A battery hundreds of miles away cannot relieve an overloaded neighborhood feeder. GridFlex matches flexibility to the specific zone where capacity is needed.

Transparent settlement for a distributed grid.
GridFlex keeps high-frequency grid telemetry and forecasting off-chain while using Solana for the parts that benefit from a shared, auditable ledger.
Market commitments
Record who committed flexibility and when.
Verification
Attach proof of delivered grid relief.
Settlement
Programmatically settle verified participation.
Auditability
Provide a shared transaction history across independent participants.
Electricity remains on the physical grid.
Solana coordinates the market and settlement layer.
Useful beyond the grid edge, wherever electricity is fragmented.
In regions with unreliable utility supply, electricity may come from a mixture of the grid, rooftop solar, batteries, diesel generators, and neighborhood microgrids. GridFlex can coordinate those resources instead of treating each one as an isolated backup system.
