        abstract = {This survey reviews state-of-the-art research and practical implementations of blockchain-based green energy microgrid platforms, emphasizing peer-to-peer (P2P) solar energy trading for renewable energy applications. The analysis explores key design aspects, including IoT-enabled monitoring, smart contract execution, energy tokenization mechanisms, and decentralized energy marketplace architectures. Innovative approaches such as ESP32-based microcontroller integration, blockchain-driven token economies, and IoT-controlled relay mechanisms address critical requirements of microgrids, including transparency, security, and energy autonomy. Performance metrics like smart contract execution time, energy measurement accuracy, system latency, and cost-effectiveness are compared. The review identifies scalable, low-cost blockchain models for P2P energy systems and highlights remaining challenges in scalability, interoperability, and regulatory frameworks.},
