Wondered if anyone had seen any more detail about this ?

looks similar to ripple but unsure if potentially better or worse?

It doesn't seem terribly ambitious:

The pilot scheme for PowerShare will generate electricity from solar panels installed on the roof space of a Your Co-op Food store in Bourton-on-the-Water in Oxfordshire.

Perhaps not 'ambitious' but it is only a 'pilot scheme'.

No doubt when electricity bills for that store are slashed they'll think about following suit in the rest of their 'empire' (possibly another few hundred stores, some with bigger rooves ?) and possibly wishing they'd been a bit bolder.

It seems to suggest you can buy into it a bit like ripple though?
