Problem
Homeowners face rising electricity prices and increasingly frequent blackouts, while traditional utility grids are centralized and costly to upgrade for modern energy demands.
Solution
Daylight offers a subscription-based service that installs solar panels and battery storage at a homeowner’s residence at no upfront cost. The system generates and stores electricity locally, providing continuous power during outages and reducing reliance on the grid. Daylight maintains all equipment and manages the decentralized network, allowing homes to share excess energy with neighbors. Surplus energy is automatically traded with the grid, and participants earn Sun Points that can be redeemed for rewards or applied toward their subscription, creating a financially incentivized, resilient energy ecosystem.
Target Audience
Daylight targets residential homeowners in regions with high electricity costs and unreliable grid service who seek a low‑maintenance, cost‑effective alternative to traditional utility power.
