Energy systems are getting more complex.
We help facilities master that complexity.

Gain full visibility into your energy usage, reduce costs, and optimize performance in real time.

The Problem

Most industrial facilities are flying blind on energy

This makes it difficult to understand what’s driving costs, where inefficiencies exist, and how different energy assets interact.

Without real-time visibility into what’s drawing power and when, teams are forced to react after the fact — when it’s already too late to optimize.

  • 📉

    No process-level energy data

    Utility bills tell you what you spent. They don't tell you which production line or shift is responsible for the spike.

  • 🌀

    Solar, battery, and loads operating in silos

    Your systems weren't designed to talk to each other. PowerBox connects them and manages them as a single coordinated asset.

  • 🔋

    Battery systems that don't deliver ROI

    Most BESS installations use static dispatch schedules. Without real-time intelligence, they discharge at the wrong times.

Our Solution

Two components. One integrated system.

PowerBox combines an edge hardware device with a cloud-based software platform — giving your facility both real-time local control and the intelligence to continuously optimize across all your energy assets.

How We Work

We build software for engineers, deployed by engineers

We measure what we manage

Every claim we make about savings is backed by data from your site — your actual tariff, your actual load, your actual battery performance. Not industry benchmarks or modeled projections.

We integrate, not replace

We don't require you to rip out existing systems. PowerBox is designed to connect to what's already deployed — adding the intelligence layer on top, not replacing the infrastructure below.

We work in industrial protocols

Modbus, OPC-UA, CAN bus, SCADA — these are the protocols your equipment already speaks. We don't ask you to change your infrastructure to fit our software. We adapt to yours.

We're direct about what we know and don't

Industrial energy systems are complex. We won't overpromise. Before every deployment, we do an honest assessment of what's achievable — and we only move forward when the economics are clear.

Our Mission

Give industrial facilities real control over their energy costs

The energy transition is creating tremendous opportunity for industrial facilities — cheaper solar, better batteries, more sophisticated tariff structures. But it's also creating complexity that most energy management tools weren't designed to handle.

PowerBox exists to bridge that gap. We build software that connects all the pieces — loads, generation, storage, grid — and optimizes them together, continuously. Not with a dashboard for reporting. With an active system that takes action.

Our focus is on facilities where energy costs are material — where a 30% reduction in demand charges translates to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and where the right software makes a real operational difference.

Why Now

The moment for industrial energy intelligence has arrived

A convergence of cheaper hardware, rising demand charges, and IRA incentives has created a window — but most facilities lack the technology stack to take full advantage of it.

2020 – 2023

Behind-the-meter assets proliferate

Industrial solar + storage installations accelerated sharply, driven by cost declines and IRA incentives. Capital was flowing into hardware — inverters, batteries, panels. But the software layer that coordinates and optimizes those assets lagged far behind the hardware investment.

2023 – 2024

Industrial energy costs intensify

Grid congestion and utility rate restructuring pushed energy costs higher across industrial markets.

2024 – 2025

PowerBox enters the market

We launched with a focus on industrial facilities that had already invested in hardware but weren't getting the returns they modeled — and on greenfield projects that needed a better EMS from day one. Our first deployments validated both the technology and the economics.

Today

Live deployments, proven results

With active deployments at Enercon and the AMP Center, PowerBox is demonstrating real-world impact at scale — measured demand charge reductions, validated battery ROI, and utility-grade microgrid management.

Day 1 Visibility into battery performance
The Problem with Static Battery Dispatch

A battery running on yesterday's schedule can cost you money today

Static dispatch schedules — the default for most BESS installations — can't account for weather, production changes, shifting tariff windows, or unexpected load spikes. The result: your battery discharges at the wrong time, leaves demand charge savings on the table, and cycles more than necessary.

⏰

Discharging at the wrong time

Fixed schedules don't respond to actual load shape. If your peak shifts — due to production changes or weather — your battery misses it.

🔄

Unnecessary cycling degrades cells

Cycling for low-value periods accelerates degradation. Smart dispatch preserves state-of-charge for when it matters most.

📊

No visibility into what's working

Without measurement, you don't know what your battery saved this month — or whether it could have saved more.

How PowerBox Fixes This

Real-time BESS optimization that responds to what's actually happening

PowerBox connects to your battery management system and all major loads, then runs a continuous optimization model that accounts for your current load, solar generation, tariff structure, and state of charge — updated every few minutes, not once a month.

Dynamic Dispatch Logic

PowerBox calculates the optimal discharge profile for every 15-minute interval throughout the day. When load profiles change — production shifts, equipment startups, unexpected spikes — the dispatch strategy updates automatically.

  • Forecasts next 7-day load profile each morning
  • Adjusts in real-time as conditions change
  • Respects battery warranty constraints automatically
  • Integrates solar forecast to sequence charging/discharging

Demand Charge Prevention

Your demand charge is set by your worst 15-minute interval. PowerBox monitors your running average demand in real time and dispatches the battery when you're approaching your threshold — before the spike occurs.

  • Configurable demand threshold alerts
  • Automated and manual override dispatch modes
  • Full history of peak events prevented
  • Monthly savings attribution reporting

Battery Health Monitoring

Know the actual state of your battery — not just SOC. PowerBox tracks degradation trends, flags anomalies, and can model how different dispatch strategies affect long-term battery life and warranty compliance.

  • Cell-level temperature and voltage visibility
  • Cycle counting and degradation tracking
  • Warranty compliance monitoring
  • Long-term performance benchmarking

ROI Reporting

Every month, PowerBox produces a clear savings report — showing exactly how much your battery reduced demand charges, what it earned through self-consumption, and how it compares to the unmanaged baseline.

  • Monthly savings vs. static dispatch baseline
  • Demand charge reduction attribution
  • Projected vs. actual BESS payback timeline
  • Export-ready for finance teams and audits

Common Questions

Battery Optimization Software FAQ

Does PowerBox work with my existing battery system?
PowerBox integrates with most commercial and industrial BESS via Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN bus, or the manufacturer's API.
How long does deployment take?
Most sites are fully connected and running optimization logic within 5–10 business days. The timeline depends on the number of systems to integrate and site access requirements. We handle the integration — your team doesn't need to do heavy IT work.
How much can we realistically save?
This depends heavily on your tariff structure, current demand charge level, and battery size. Facilities with demand charges over $15/kW and batteries sized for 2+ hours of peak coverage typically see the strongest results — often 25–40% reduction in demand charges. We'll model this for your specific site during the energy assessment.
Will this void my battery warranty?
No. PowerBox is configured to respect your battery manufacturer's warranty constraints — including maximum C-rates, depth of discharge limits, and thermal operating windows. We work within your warranty parameters, not around them.

Industrial Energy Management

You can't manage what you can't see — and most facilities can't see much

Your utility bill arrives 30 days after the fact and tells you what you spent — not why. PowerBox gives industrial facilities a real-time picture of every load, circuit, and energy flow, so your team can act on what's happening now, not last month.

The Core Problem

Industrial facilities spend millions on energy they've never actually measured

Most energy managers are working from monthly utility bills, manual meter reads, and gut instinct. There's no real-time view of which production lines, shifts, or equipment are responsible for your costs — which means there's no reliable way to reduce them.

📋

Utility bills don't tell you enough

A monthly total tells you what you spent. It doesn't tell you which shift caused the peak, which line is running inefficiently, or where the waste is happening.

⚡

Energy costs lack transparency

Most facilities can’t clearly see what’s driving costs across processes, or how on-site generation is actually impacting overall energy spend. Without this visibility, it’s difficult to quantify savings, validate performance, or make informed decisions about future investments.

🔀

Energy systems don't coordinate

Loads, generation sources, and grid connections operate independently. Without a common intelligence layer, your facility can't respond to what's happening in real time — across all assets simultaneously.

Common Questions

Industrial Energy Management FAQ

What existing systems does PowerBox connect to?
PowerBox integrates via Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, and direct meter or equipment APIs — protocols that are standard in industrial environments. In most cases, no new hardware is required. We work with your existing meters, switchgear, and control systems and supplement where there are gaps.
How quickly do we get visibility after deployment?
Monitoring goes live on day one. Most sites are fully connected within 5–10 business days. Your energy team will have a real-time dashboard showing load by circuit, equipment, and shift before the end of the first week — without waiting for a billing cycle.
We already have a SCADA system. Does PowerBox replace it?
No. PowerBox is an energy intelligence layer, not a replacement for your existing control systems. We read data from your SCADA and operational systems, add energy cost context, and surface insights your SCADA wasn't designed to provide — cost attribution, demand charge forecasting, and tariff-aware optimization.
What size facility does this make sense for?
PowerBox is designed for facilities with peak demand of 500 kW or above — where energy costs are material enough that a few percentage points of reduction translates to significant dollars. The economics work best at sites paying $15+/kW in demand charges or $500K+ in annual energy spend.
Can we use PowerBox across multiple facilities?
Yes. PowerBox supports multi-site deployments with a unified dashboard that lets your energy team compare performance, benchmark facilities against each other, and manage demand targets across your entire portfolio from a single view.

Solar + Storage Optimization

Solar and storage systems need an intelligence layer to deliver value

Facilities are increasingly adding battery storage to existing solar systems—or deploying both together. But without a unified intelligence layer, these systems often operate independently, limiting their ability to reduce costs and improve performance. PowerBox provides the coordination and optimization needed to make solar and storage function as a single, intelligent system—maximizing the value of both investments.

Real-time Generation + load coordination
7-day Solar forecast horizon
The Coordination Problem

What happens when your solar and battery aren't coordinated

Solar overproduces during midday when loads are moderate. The battery charges from solar. Then demand peaks in the late afternoon. But the battery is already partially depleted — or fully discharged — because no one coordinated the two. This scenario repeats every day in facilities without an EMS.

🌤️

Solar variability is unpredictable

Cloud cover, seasonality, and soiling affect output hour to hour. Without a forecast, your battery can't plan around it.

🔋

Battery charged at the wrong time

If the battery charges from solar during off-peak hours, it may not have capacity available when it's needed most — during peak demand windows.

💸

Self-consumption left on the table

Without real-time awareness of facility load, solar energy gets exported to the grid at low export rates instead of powering your facility at retail rates.

The PowerBox Approach

Intelligent behind-the-meter energy management, designed for industrial complexity

PowerBox builds a real-time model of your facility that includes every energy source and load — then continuously optimizes how they interact. The result is a system that behaves like a single coordinated asset, not three separate ones.

Solar Generation Forecasting

PowerBox integrates weather data and historical generation curves to forecast your solar output 24 hours ahead. This lets the battery dispatch strategy account for what solar will produce — not just what it's producing right now.

  • Weather-adjusted generation forecasting
  • Real-time irradiance and generation monitoring
  • Soiling and degradation detection
  • Inverter performance benchmarking

Self-Consumption Optimization

Every kWh your facility consumes from solar instead of the grid avoids a retail electricity charge. PowerBox maximizes this by routing solar generation to match your facility's real-time consumption profile — and using the battery to smooth mismatches.

  • Real-time solar-to-load matching
  • Battery used to store excess during low-load periods
  • ToU arbitrage layer maximizes value of stored energy
  • Monthly self-consumption rate reporting

Resilience & Islanding

For facilities with resilience requirements, PowerBox manages the transition between grid-tied and islanded operation — ensuring critical loads are powered and the microgrid stays stable throughout a grid outage event.

  • Automatic grid fault detection and response
  • Critical load prioritization during islanding
  • Battery reserve management for resilience mode
  • Islanding duration monitoring and reporting

Sizing Validation & Planning

Not sure if your current system is sized correctly — or if you should expand? PowerBox runs continuous simulation against your actual facility data to validate whether your current assets are working optimally and what additional capacity would deliver.

  • Current asset utilization analysis
  • Incremental battery/solar expansion modeling
  • ROI modeling for capacity additions
  • Developer-ready performance data exports
For EPCs & Solar + Storage Developers

PowerBox strengthens the economics of every solar + storage project you develop

The EMS layer is often the missing piece that separates a good project from an excellent one. PowerBox gives developers a proven software stack that improves project economics, reduces operational risk, and gives asset owners the reporting they need.

Better Project IRR

Intelligent dispatch extracts significantly more value from a given battery size — improving project returns without adding capital cost.

Reduced O&M Risk

Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection means issues are caught before they become failures — reducing warranty claims and unplanned maintenance.

Asset Owner Confidence

Monthly reporting and clear savings attribution makes it easy for asset owners to see the value — and to approve future projects with you.

Common Questions

Solar + Storage Optimization FAQ

Can PowerBox work with any solar inverter?
PowerBox integrates with most commercial solar inverters via Modbus, SunSpec, or manufacturer APIs. We support major brands including SMA, SolarEdge, Fronius, ABB, and others. Compatibility is confirmed during the initial assessment.
We already have an inverter with built-in EMS. Why would we use PowerBox?
Inverter-level EMS is designed for the inverter — not your facility. It doesn't have visibility into your production loads, demand charge structure, or real operating profile. PowerBox provides facility-level intelligence that inverter EMS can't — including process-level demand monitoring, tariff-aware dispatch, and multi-system coordination.
Is PowerBox suitable for microgrid projects?
Yes. PowerBox was deployed at Alabama Power's AMP Center precisely for this reason — managing a solar + storage microgrid with grid interconnection. We support grid-tied, islanded, and hybrid modes with seamless transitions between them.
We're still in planning. Can PowerBox help us right-size our battery?
Absolutely. If you share your utility bills and any existing energy data, PowerBox can run a feasibility analysis that models the optimal battery size for your facility — balancing capital cost against demand charge savings and self-consumption value. This is part of our free assessment.

Technology Vision

Software today. Hardware tomorrow. End-to-end optimization by design.

PowerBox's current commercial focus is the Energy Management Platform — software that optimizes the energy assets you already have. Our long-term roadmap extends that intelligence into the physical control layer, with a modular power electronics system built to work in deep integration with our software.

The Complete Platform

Hardware and software, built to work as one

PowerBox is developing a complete energy platform — the EMP as the software orchestration layer, and PowerBlock as the hardware integration layer. Together, they form an end-to-end system where intelligence and power electronics are co-designed from the ground up.

PowerBlock hardware and Energy Management Platform (EMP) integration overview
EMP — Software Orchestration

The intelligence layer that connects, models, and optimizes your facility

The Energy Management Platform ingests real-time data from every asset on site — loads, solar, storage, grid — and builds a continuous model of your facility's energy flows. It makes optimization decisions automatically: dispatching assets, preventing demand peaks, and coordinating energy sources in response to what's actually happening.

EMP and PowerBlock integration overview
PowerBlock — Hardware Integration

The physical control layer for next-generation energy systems

PowerBlock is a modular power conversion system being developed as the hardware complement to the EMP. It connects solar PV, battery storage, the grid, and backup generation through a single unified architecture — replacing the patchwork of inverters, BMS units, and switchgear from different vendors that characterizes most behind-the-meter installations today.

Designed in concert with the EMP, PowerBlock executes control decisions at the hardware level — with speed and precision that isn't achievable when software coordinates third-party hardware through abstraction layers.

PowerBlock is in development. Current PowerBox deployments are software-first, integrating with existing site hardware.
PowerBlock modular hardware with integrated glow

While our current deployments are focused on software, our long-term vision is to tightly integrate intelligence and power electronics — enabling fully optimized, flexible energy systems that perform better than anything assembled from separate components.

The Strategic Rationale

Why building both layers matters

Most energy management software sits on top of hardware it didn't design and can't fully control. PowerBox is building toward a different architecture — one where the software and hardware are co-designed from the ground up to work together.

🔗

Tighter integration, better outcomes

When the EMS and the power electronics share a common architecture, optimization decisions can be executed at the hardware level — faster, more precisely, and with fewer failure points than software controlling third-party hardware through abstraction layers.

🧩

Modularity reduces complexity

Today's behind-the-meter installations are assembled from inverters, BMS, switchgear, and controllers from different vendors — each with their own protocols and failure modes. PowerBlock is designed as a single modular system that replaces that stack with a unified, controllable architecture.

📐

Software-first is the right starting point

Building the EMP first — and deploying it across real industrial facilities — gives PowerBox the operating data, tariff models, and optimization logic that will inform the design of PowerBlock. The hardware roadmap is grounded in real-world performance, not theoretical specifications.
