Understanding P2P Trading
The "Digital Mandi" Concept
Think of P2P Energy Trading like a local market. Instead of everyone buying only from the central grid, a neighbor with extra Solar energy can sell it directly to you. PVVNL provides the "Market Infrastructure" (The wires) and acts as the "Referee" (Accounting).
"Ghar se Ghar Tak" (Home to Home)
Just like UPI lets you transfer money directly between bank accounts, P2P lets you transfer "Energy Credits" directly between homes. Your surplus solar energy powers your neighbor's house, and you get paid for it directly on your bill.
