Abstract - Warehouse volumes have expanded several
A solar PV system can help warehouses save money on their energy expenses. Due to temperature control systems and lighting, energy bills typically account for roughly 15% of operating costs in a warehouse facility. These energy expenditures can be significantly lowered by installing solar panels, which generate their free electricity.
times in the last decade, necessitating the demand for larger and better facilities, which has fueled the warehouse industry's expansion. As a result, the amount of electricity consumed has grown. Usually, for a normal warehouse, the total electricity consumption accounts for 15 percent of the total cost. Globally, at least 40% of CO2 emissions are emitted from electricity generation. The combustion of fossil fuels generates the heat needed to power steam turbines. Carbon dioxide, the major heat-trapping "greenhouse gas" responsible for global warming, is produced when these fuels are burned. Solar panels, unlike fossil fuels, provide power without polluting the air or emitting carbon dioxide. Furthermore, there is no ash or other waste products, and no other inputs beyond sunlight. Blockchain technology can be used to track the amount of solar energy generated. The overall traceability of energy consumption could be accomplished. By enabling transparent, secure, and efficient electrical energy transactions, blockchain has the potential to change the energy sector. Blockchain also aids in the creation of transactional energy systems, in which distributed entities can trade and interact directly with one another in a decentralized and flat trading market. If there is extra energy, peer-to-peer trade can be done. Distributed ledger technology has the probability to improve the efficiencies of the electricity grid. In addition to provenance tracking, blockchain offers unique opportunities for renewable energy delivery.
Factory roofs are frequently the best places to put solar panels. Because factories are energy-intensive structures, placing a solar PV system on the roof assures that free electricity can be generated to power everything below it. The technology of blockchain holds a lot of potential. It could also serve as the foundation for metering, billing, and clearing operations, in addition to executing energy supply transactions. Other conceivable applications include ownership documentation, asset state (asset management), origin guarantees, emission permits, and renewable energy certificates. By starting with different sectors and eventually transforming the entire energy industry, blockchain technology has the ability to drastically reshape energy as we know it.

1. INTRODUCTION The conventional four-walled godown has given way to modern and sophisticated multi-purpose storage and warehousing structures. Many warehouses use nonrenewable energy sources, which has a negative impact on the environment and raises costs as consumption rises.

More and more warehouses are recognizing the benefits of solar PV as energy efficiency moves to the top of the agenda. Installing solar PV on warehouse rooftops allows the warehouse and surrounding buildings, such as offices, to generate free electricity.
