Photoncycle: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Photoncycle is an energy storage scale-up that develops hydrogen energy storage systems that enable households and businesses to store summer solar power for winter use. Its patented technology transforms surplus renewable energy into solid-state hydrogen stored underground, releasing it as clean heat and power when needed. The company designs solutions that allow households and businesses to store excess solar energy generated during the summer months and use it during winter periods, helping to balance seasonal energy availability. Its systems convert surplus electricity into hydrogen, safely store it, and later reconvert it to electricity when demand exceeds on-site generation. Photoncycle also focuses on integrating its storage solutions with existing solar installations and energy management systems to optimize energy use, reliability, and efficiency. Through its hydrogen storage technology, the company aims to enable long-term renewable energy utilization and provide a practical method for managing intermittent solar generation across different seasons.
Photoncycle has raised $17.4M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Series A of $17.4M announced in Mar 2026.
That round is above the $15M median round size for Energy companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Photoncycle Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Photoncycle is left off this page rather than filled in.
