Daylight Energy -a DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) startup focused on distributed solar power and home energy systems- has raised $75 million in new financing to scale its decentralized solar network across the United States and accelerate deployment of blockchain-linked energy infrastructure. The funding highlights growing investor confidence in projects that fuse renewable energy with token-enabled economic models and real-world yield mechanisms. The $75 million raise consists of $15 million in equity financing led by Framework Ventures, with participation from a16z Crypto, Lerer Hippeau, M13, Room40 Ventures, EV3 Ventures, Crucible Capital, Coinbase Ventures and Not Boring Capital, alongside a $60 million project finance facility led by Turtle Hill Capital a non-recourse loan secured against infrastructure assets. Daylight plans to use the capital to expand installations of home solar and battery systems within its subscription-based network, bolster grid resilience, launch its DayFi decentralized finance protocol and unlock blockchain-linked energy yields for participants. The Daylight Network enables homeowners to access backup power and predictable electricity pricing without upfront costs, and earn “Sun Points” as rewards for contributing energy back to the grid, with future plans to evolve the system into an on-chain token reward model. Founded in 2022 by Jason Badeaux, Udit Patel and Evan Caron, Daylight is building a new paradigm for renewable energy infrastructure ownership and participation by bridging real-world energy systems and decentralized capital, allowing investors and homeowners alike to benefit from the shift to clean, distributed power generation. #DaylightEnergy, #DePIN, #SolarEnergy, #CleanEnergy, #Blockchain, #RenewableInfrastructure, #EnergyTech, #SolarPower, #GreenTech, #DecentralizedEnergy, #VCFunding, #FrameworkVentures, #EnergyInnovation, #SustainableTech, #CryptoInvestment
