Open Standard v1.0

Solar Protocol v1.0 — Open Energy Equivalence Standard

1 Solar = 4,913 kWh. The Solar Protocol defines a universal reference for energy-based valuation across AI, compute, and digital assets. It embeds human-rights alignment and ecological accountability directly into machine-readable metadata.

Purpose

To create a transparent, auditable, and ethical baseline for energy accounting in the age of artificial intelligence and distributed compute. Each Solar represents a day's worth of clean, renewable human energy income.

Key Fields

Human Rights Alignment

Every Solar Standard implementation must affirm:

Unified Intelligence Mesh Integration

The Solar Standard Protocol serves as the ethical and energetic value transfer layer for the Unified Intelligence Mesh (UIM) — the convergence of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and emerging AI models into a planetary reasoning web.

White Paper: The Unified Intelligence Mesh (UIM) — Building the Ethical and Energetic Value Transfer Layer (October 2025)

Core Principle: Every joule spent on intelligence must expand human freedom, not erode it. Solar Standard ensures AI optimization aligns with human rights and planetary sustainability.
