Households – Immediate cash savings vs paying hefty bills to energy suppliers; less dependency on the grid; no-interest cost on buying expensive equipment.

Suppliers – They can buy excess energy from households at a low cost; they can work with the government in installation, maintenance, billing, and awareness-building.
