SuperCloud Energy, a clean energy company specializing in scalable on- and off-grid power solutions, has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with p-Chip Corporation to integrate p-Chip's unclonable micro-transponder technology into SuperCloud's domestically manufactured battery and energy storage systems. The collaboration will initially focus on battery traceability and serialization across SuperCloud's Green Power on Demand (GPOD) platform, with plans to expand toward full-lifecycle identity and Battery Passport readiness.
Under the LOI, the two companies will begin technical, operational, and commercial discussions on a phased implementation. The first phase involves a focused battery-traceability engagement, followed by deeper integration into manufacturing workflow and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as value is demonstrated. Over time, the partnership aims to establish a broader identity layer supporting lifecycle intelligence, sustainability assurance, and compliance with emerging EU Battery Passport standards.
As battery manufacturers face increasing demands for secure identity, lifecycle traceability, and manufacturing integrity, the durability of the physical identifier becomes critical. Conventional labels and QR codes can wear off or be tampered with, while standard RFID antennas may struggle in battery environments. p-Chip's light-activated micro-transponder provides a hardware-unique, read-only silicon identity that cannot be copied, edited, or reapplied. The technology has demonstrated survivability under harsh battery conditions, including thermal cycling, electrolyte exposure, and extended charge/load cycling. It supports hierarchical identity from cell to module, pack, and system, with each verified scan captured as an auditable event through Authium, p-Chip's traceability software on SAP Business Technology Platform.
For SuperCloud, this partnership establishes a durable physical root of trust for its domestically manufactured energy storage systems. The unclonable identity links component provenance, manufacturing quality, commissioning sign-off, and dispatch verification to a single, permanent identifier that travels with each battery across its service life. “SuperCloud is building more than batteries or power systems. We are building a globally deployable distributed energy infrastructure,” said Jim Devericks, Founder, Chairman and CEO of SuperCloud Energy. “To do that at scale, every battery must carry a trusted, permanent identity. p-Chip gives us a secure and unclonable foundation for battery traceability, strengthening quality assurance, lifecycle intelligence, and supply chain integrity across our GPOD platform. This not only supports access to global markets like the EU as Battery Passport standards emerge, but positions us ahead of future U.S. regulatory requirements while giving customers greater confidence and visibility into the assets powering their operations.”
Joe Wagner, CEO and Co-Founder of p-Chip Corporation, echoed the sentiment: “SuperCloud is exactly the kind of partner we built this platform for, a manufacturer that treats traceability as infrastructure, not an afterthought. Energy storage is one of the most demanding environments for any identity technology. Our micro-transponders have demonstrated survivability under thermal, electrochemical, and charge/load stress, and this partnership brings that durable, unclonable identity to American-made batteries, from the moment they are manufactured through their entire lifecycle.”
The companies intend to advance the relationship along a phased path: an initial battery-traceability engagement across SuperCloud's manufacturing, quality assurance, commissioning, and dispatch checkpoints; deeper integration into manufacturing workflow and ERP/quality systems; and, over time, a broader identity layer supporting lifecycle intelligence, sustainability assurance, and EU Battery Passport readiness.
