OptiEnergy is a web-based platform aimed to provide a simple and user friendly way for users to invest in green energy.

• Solar Panel Suitability Check: Users can input their address to determine if their house is suitable for solar panels, the required investment, and the return on investment (ROI) period.

• Neighbor Energy Marketplace: Shows neighbors who already have solar energy and are willing to sell it, providing an alternative for users who don't want or can't invest in solar panels.
• Provider Listings: Displays a list of solar panel providers and their prices for users interested in investing in solar panels.

The architecture of OptiEnergy leverages modern web technologies to provide a scalable and efficient platform. The frontend is built with React and Vite, while the backend uses AWS Lambda functions managed by the Serverless Framework. This setup ensures a serverless, cost-effective, and highly scalable infrastructure.

• Frontend: React, Vite, JavaScript
• Backend: AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework, JavaScript
• Cloud Provider: AWS

• Node.js (>= 14.x)
• AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
• Serverless Framework (npm install -g serverless)
