Abstract
The Thesis argues that we need to re-think the structure and control of our aging electrical grid system by activating alternatives and one of the most important of which is solar microgrid plants that have the ability to reshape the environment. Energy Production should become a significant urban design element that can be integrated withing our neighborhoods to enhance the stewardship of energy use and energy security through collective participatory ownership
