Iโ€™m excited to announce @a16zcrypto is leading the $9M Series A round in /daylightenergy! ๐Ÿ”† Daylight is building a decentralized protocol to fund & coordinate distributed energy resources. Daylight will initially sell distributed energy resource (DER) data to energy companies. It plans to enable anyone to build a virtual power plant, with access to info about DERs & the ability to control their deployment. Imagine a home with solar panels, an electric vehicle battery, & a smart thermostat. Daylight lets the homeowner capture & sell data from those devices to energy companies to better manage the grid. Co-founder & CEO @jasonbadeaux is a leading expert on decentralized network design for the physical world. Along with co-founders @powertrader and Udit Patel, they've built a crack team of energy grid operators, smart contract engineers, and domain experts. Weโ€™re thrilled to help Daylight build a better & more decentralized energy grid! https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-daylight/

Whatโ€™s the incentive to contribute energy to the network? How does /daylightenergy source energy?

Oooh that it is such a great idea! Now can we fix the super scammy way that solar panels are sold in the US? We tried to buy some for our house but it was all "Oh, you rent them from us and get charged x, y, z, but then get voucher q, r, s, and then if you sell the house the new owners have to take over the contract....

How do energy companies buy DER data? Is this straightforward? We are looking at a similar idea in Europe
