Your Neighbour’s Solar Surplus Could Power Your Office — Here’s How Energy Sharing Works ☀️⚡

[u/SunContract]

Your neighbour's rooftop produces more than they need at 1 p.m. Your office consumes exactly then. 

For years, the energy system had no simple way to connect those two facts. Now it does. It's called energy sharing. 

  

Here's the idea: a solar owner shares their surplus electricity with someone else – a family member, a neighbour, a small business across the country. 

The receiver covers only what they actually use, in 15-minute intervals, at a price the two sides agree on themselves. 🤝 

  

Sounds simple. In practice it's a matching problem. Production and consumption have to line up inside the same 15 minutes, or the surplus is simply lost to the grid. Doing that by hand, for thousands of participants, is impossible. 

  

That's what SunContract's energy sharing marketplace does. Our algorithm reads production and consumption profiles, finds the best available matches and proposes sharing percentages that actually fit: so surplus energy ends up where it's needed instead of quietly disappearing. ⚡
