Solarville is a fully functioning prototype, built to a 1:50 scale: some homeowners have installed solar panels to become makers and traders of clean energy, while others automatically purchase the electricity generated in their local community. The entire transactional relationship is run on blockchain technology.
Inspired by the sun, Solarville imagines what could happen if every household was empowered to be their own maker and trader of solar energy – harnessing the power of the sun and then distributing it through blockchain-enabled microgrids, keeping all power and profit within the community itself.
