IN Malaysia, many households with rooftop solar panels are quietly transforming into energy producers. When a home generates more energy than it uses, the surplus power can be stored for later use or exported to the grid.
It could also be traded between neighbours and businesses through peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. The idea is simple: a household with spare solar-generated energy offers the surplus for sale to neighbours who need it. A digital platform measures the energy, records the transaction and facilitates payment.
