SuperCloud Energy and p-Chip Partner for Unclonable Battery Identity

In a move that could reshape battery traceability for U.S.-made energy storage, SuperCloud Energy and p-Chip Corporation have signed a Letter of Intent to integrate p-Chip’s unclonable micro-transponder technology into SuperCloud’s Green Power on Demand (GPOD) battery platform. The partnership will begin with battery traceability and serialization, addressing a critical need for secure, durable identity in battery manufacturing. As the industry moves toward full-lifecycle tracking and EU Battery Passport compliance, the collaboration aims to establish a physical root of trust for every battery cell, module, and pack produced by SuperCloud, using p-Chip’s light-activated micro-transponder that is read-only, cannot be copied, and survives harsh battery conditions like thermal cycling and electrolyte exposure.

SuperCloud Energy, a clean energy innovator based in Chicago, IL, builds scalable on- and off-grid power solutions, including the GPOD platform—the world’s first fully integrated, zero-emission, off-grid energy system using advanced sodium-ion battery storage. p-Chip Corporation, headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, provides a physical-digital trust layer for high-value supply chains, with technology already validated in pharmaceutical, life sciences, and industrial applications. Under the LOI, the companies will pursue phased implementation: starting with battery-traceability engagement across SuperCloud’s manufacturing, QA/commissioning, and dispatch checkpoints; then deeper integration into manufacturing workflow and ERP/quality systems; and eventually building toward lifecycle intelligence and EU Battery Passport readiness. Each verified scan of a p-Chip micro-transponder can be captured as an auditable event through Authium, p-Chip’s traceability software on SAP Business Technology Platform.

“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. “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, added, “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.”
