Beyond the Grid

In places where electricity was once a distant dream, two forces blockchain and solar power are quietly changing lives. Beyond the Grid takes readers inside this global shift, showing how decentralized solar networks are bringing light and independence to communities long left behind. From small villages in Africa to isolated island towns, people are using sunlight and digital trust to power homes, grow businesses, and reclaim control over their futures.

Author Herman Strange blends field research with real stories to uncover how blockchain is solving problems of transparency, distribution, and fair payment. Through peer-to-peer energy trading, smart contracts, and microgrids, entire regions are learning to share power literally and economically.

But at its core, this isn’t a book about technology. It’s about people coming together, finding solutions, and building something sustainable when old systems failed them.

Can the union of blockchain and solar power truly bridge the world’s energy divide or just redraw it?
