Daylight Energy

Daylight Energy is a decentralized energy company built for homeowners, transforming everyday houses into mini power plants by installing solar panels and battery backup systems. Through a simple monthly energy subscription, customers receive power at a lower and more predictable per-kWh rate than their traditional utility, gain reliable backup power during outages, and earn rewards (“Sun Points”) for contributing excess power to the collective network.

The company’s model, a peer-to-grid approach founded in 2022, uses decentralized finance (DeFi) to incentivize adoption and secure capital for clean energy deployment. Daylight connects investors to its growing portfolio of residential solar and storage systems through its DayFi yield protocol, with returns tied directly to electricity revenues. Following a recent $75 million financing round, the company is actively working to scale its network nationwide beyond its initial markets in Illinois and Massachusetts.
