What if neighbours worked together to make solar, battery backup, and home electrification easier and more affordable?

I'm exploring a community-led model for Ottawa that focuses on transparency, resilience, and reducing costs through neighbourhood-scale adoption.

No sales pitches. No exclusive vendors. Just neighbours helping neighbours make informed decisions.

@mgifford I'm sure there are some differences between the countries but the principles sound very similar and I'm sure they would have good thoughts
