What do Hourly Matching, $WATT, S-NFT and CSRD Scope 2 mean in green energy traceability?

Definitions of key terms used across SolarNext: blockchain energy traceability, IoT certification, CSRD compliance, and solar producer monetization.

Hourly Matching: Method of correlating green electricity production and consumption on an hourly basis, with cryptographic proof. Required for credible CSRD Scope 2 reporting and anti-greenwashing audits.
Obligation d'Achat (OA): French feed-in tariff contract (typically EDF OA) guaranteeing a fixed price for solar production over 20 years. When it ends, producers often sell at wholesale spot prices unless they certify premium green attributes.
$WATT Token: SolarNext digital unit representing certified green kilowatt-hours recorded on Solana. It encodes production data signed by IoT oracles and enables traceable transfer of energy attributes.
S-NFT (Solar NFT): Non-fungible token representing a digital exploitation right on a solar asset's certified production stream. Used to securitize and transfer future green energy revenue without treating it as debt.
CSRD Scope 2: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive category covering indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Requires auditable proof of renewable origin — Hourly Matching strengthens credibility vs annual certificates.
IoT Oracle: Physical device connected to a smart meter (e.g. Linky TIC port) that reads production data and cryptographically signs it for blockchain registration. SolarNext's box acts as an tamper-proof digital auditor.
Linky TIC Port: Teleinformation Client port on French Linky smart meters. SolarNext's certification device connects here in minutes to stream real-time production data without modifying the meter.
Greenwashing: Misleading environmental claims without verifiable proof of green origin. SolarNext combats greenwashing with immutable, hourly-certified traceability instead of opaque annual guarantees of origin.
