what would it take for a household to see, price, and trade the energy it makes?
Sama treats the rooftop as an economic actor. It gives a household a live, legible view of the energy it generates, consumes, and could exchange with a neighbour — and asks whether peer-to-peer trading can be made simple enough to actually use.

Rooftop solar turns a household into a producer, but the grid still treats it as a consumer with an awkward meter. Sama asks what changes when a prosumer can see their own energy as a tradeable thing — priced, visible, exchangeable with a neighbour. Built on the India Energy Stack and the Beckn Protocol, with a working Python BPP module at its core.

a settlement layer light enough for a neighbourhood to actually trust and adopt.
