Additional Comments:
1)The problem with the concept is that the power cannot to delivered to a specific user as it passes over a communal bus. It might have been more practical to go with smart meters that can be read over the power grid and from a device installed at the serving transformer as most power signaling is not able to cross over. I fail to see how provision of weather updates assist in the entire project unless it is to give the consumer an idea of whether there will be sufficient light to refill the batteries. Imagine the environmental impact of disposing the large quantities of battery banks when they become due for replacement, to mitigate this you need to incorporate a battery recycling initiative.
2)Although interesting, the concept is not very innovative and is not fully developed; it should spell out what actions will be taken by what player, and assess the impact on emission reductions, as well as other benefits.
3)It is virtuous to focus on a process to improve access to energy with additional supply from waste materials, and controlled demand through information. While I appreciate the focus, I can’t determine from this proposal what actions are actually proposed, steps, timeline, for whom, how much money, etc. However again creating some kind of pilot with these characteristics is a wonderful thing to do.

Judges' Comments
Invention not new although not common. Revenue generation stream not clearly stated. Profitability of the invention to be clearly outlined. Target Group (Young Professionals) may not be enough to generate the required revenue for the invention to be profitable. Not clear as to the sample size the Asor Team used since the result may not paint the right picture.
It is not clear what is proposed. No definition is given for "green resources". No quantification of emission reduction. Other key benefits are not listed.

Thank you for your feedback, we added your sample size of our initial survey, we didn't add feedback from the Negawatt local judges competition. The revenue generation stream is based on sales of data collection and analysis on shortfalls and surpluses for individuals and industries.
We defined profitability on management of resources and generation of alternate renewable energy such as plastics to bio-diesels to supplement shortfall areas. Our target groups have been expanded to include the informal sector that requires 30% of local power needs and generates green resources such as plastic waste, sawdust, waste paper etc. which is traded for green merits and other green rewards.
This proposal is for an SMART Energy monitor to manage power needs and green resources clients may face difficulty with knowing real time consumption of energy and tagging green useful resources for promoting sustainable development.
Our efforts work at promoting zero emissions and sustainable development as the new frontier in sustainable city development, data management services and tapping into green resources to form a stock market/ bank for clients and ASOR consumers.
