“UK Research and Innovation has begun a study to determine how people with small rooftop solar systems — called micro-generators — could create a peer-to-peer energy market. The research is funded by UKRI’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Currently, a homeowner with a rooftop solar system can use the electricity created within the home or sell it to the grid.
