Decentralized Energy
summary
Daylight Energy lays out a concrete plan to tokenise distributed solar + battery systems, using on‑chain incentives to aggregate behind‑the‑meter assets and bid them into power markets as dispatchable capacity. Key claims: 4.7% annual demand growth driving $21 trillion capex by 2050, interconnection queues now 5+ years, transformer lead times 2–3 years, current US transmission build ~500 miles/yr versus needed 5,500 by 2030. Solar installs spend ~60% on acquisition; goal is to make assets revenue‑generating and cut costs toward $1/watt.
