Sharing solar energy through peer-to-peer microgrids in Bangladesh
summary
SOLShare builds peer-to-peer village microgrids that let households bank and sell excess solar via mobile-money wallets, using a field device based on ESP32 that runs Amazon FreeRTOS and publishes MQTT telemetry to AWS IoT. The system handles local smart metering, wifi mesh and remote monitoring, has gone live in 116 villages with about 2,000 devices and claims impact on ~55,000 people, with lights switching on, energy trades occurring and developers freed to focus on the peer-to-peer marketplace.
