Peer-to-peer solar surplus sharing

GridShare interface

Overview

A neighbourhood energy network that lets solar households sell surplus power to neighbours instead of wasting it.

The challenge

Rooftop solar frequently generates more than a household uses, while the neighbours next door run generators — with no mechanism to move power between them.

What we did

  • Modelled the estate, not the individual home, as the unit of energy sharing.
  • Built listing and matching so surplus generation becomes a tradeable local resource.
  • Made measurement and pricing transparent to both sides of every trade.
  • Created an estate onboarding flow so communities can join together.

The outcome

Surplus rooftop solar is redirected to neighbours, improving local energy access and cutting generator dependence.
