What XENDEE Corporation does

Xendee Corporation is a San Diego-based software company that develops a cloud-based platform for the financial and technical optimization, design, and operation of microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER). The platform is organized around four integrated modules: DISCOVER, an API that screens up to 600 candidate sites in 30 minutes using portfolio, utility, and weather data; PROPOSE, a catalog-driven sales proposal tool that produces quotes within 10 minutes; DESIGN, which performs multi-node power and thermal flow modeling with financial constraints using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization; and OPERATE, an AI-powered real-time microgrid controller built on the proprietary Positronix AI Engine and Model Predictive Control. The system supports 25+ DER technologies (solar PV, battery storage, CHP, fuel cells, hydrogen electrolyzers, natural gas generators, and others) and 14 distinct value streams including EV charging and demand charge reduction. Add-on offerings include the MOBILITY module for EV charging infrastructure and free tools such as Load Builder for top-of-funnel lead generation.

The company serves enterprise and government customers across defense (U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, DOD), retail (Walmart), energy (Shell, ENGIE, NextEra, Centrica, Bloom Energy, Cummins, Generac), utilities (PG&E, NYPA, NRECA), engineering consultancies (Arup, Worley, Mazzetti, SmithGroup), research institutions (Idaho National Laboratory, PNNL, ASU, UCSD, University of Illinois), and EV charging (TravelCenters of America). Revenue is generated through seat-based SaaS subscriptions on annual or monthly billing cycles, quote-based enterprise agreements, and a professional services line called Modeling Services in which Xendee engineers assist with project feasibility assessments. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales supported by community-led marketing including Xendee University training, the annual Xendee University Week virtual conference, and an annual market research report. The company has raised more than $23 million in total disclosed funding, including an $8 million round in 2021 and a $12 million Series A in June 2022 led by Anzu Partners, with strategic investments from TravelCenters of America, Evergy Ventures, and Eaton Corporation.

The business is positioned within a U.S. microgrid market projected by Wood Mackenzie to grow 19% annually through 2027, exceeding 4,000 microgrids and 10 GW of capacity. Recent strategic moves include the NEOM smart city partnership in Saudi Arabia, a research collaboration with the University of Illinois targeting data center power resilience through microgrid and small modular reactor integration, and a strategic investment from power equipment major Eaton Corporation in 2025. Competitive differentiation rests on the combination of economic and one-line diagram modeling in a single platform, the proprietary Positronix AI Engine, and a documented track record of more than 215,000 optimized designs across defense, commercial, utility, and academic customers.

Direct peers

• Energy Toolbase: Energy Toolbase (owned by NEXTracker / FranklinWH) is a SaaS platform for solar and storage project design, financial modeling, and proposal generation. It directly competes with Xendee's PROPOSE and DESIGN modules for commercial and industrial DER feasibility, though it is more solar-centric and less focused on multi-DER microgrid operations.
• HOMER Energy by UL Solutions: HOMER Energy, now part of UL Solutions, is the long-standing reference software for microgrid and distributed generation design using optimization. It is the most direct competitor to Xendee's DESIGN module, targeting similar engineering and consulting customers with hybrid renewable + storage + conventional generation modeling.
• PXiSE Energy Solutions: PXiSE Energy Solutions provides real-time microgrid and DER control software (Active Control Technology) with optimization at the operational layer. It is a direct competitor to Xendee's OPERATE module, addressing the same AI-driven microgrid control use cases for utilities and C&I sites.
• Encorp: Encorp is a microgrid controls and energy-management software company serving utilities, campuses, and military bases. It directly competes with Xendee's OPERATE and DESIGN modules in the government/defense and university microgrid segments where both companies have marquee references.

Emerging players

• Aurora Solar: Aurora Solar is a leading cloud-based solar PV design and sales platform, with growing storage and DER functionality. While primarily residential and small commercial, it increasingly overlaps with Xendee in C&I DER design and proposal workflows, especially for solar-plus-storage microgrids.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure Microgrid): Schneider Electric offers EcoStruxure Microgrid Operations and related DER/EMIS software alongside its full power-conversion and grid-edge hardware portfolio. It competes with Xendee for utility, C&I, and data-center microgrid projects, but as part of a much broader energy-management suite and not a specialized SaaS.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens delivers microgrid and DER software as part of its Smart Infrastructure and Gridscale X portfolios, frequently paired with SICAM and Spectrum Power controls. It targets large utilities and industrial customers that Xendee also serves (e.g., Shell, ENGIE, Centrica overlap) but operates across a vastly broader automation and grid portfolio.
• GE Vernova (GridOS / DERMS): GE Vernova offers GridOS and DERMS offerings for utility-scale DER orchestration, with growing overlap into microgrid use cases. It is a broad incumbent competitor in grid-edge software that Xendee meets in utility customer pursuits such as PG&E, NYPA, and Evergy's portfolio.
• ABB e-Mesh / Microgrid Solutions: ABB offers e-Mesh and microgrid-plus solutions integrating power conversion, controls, and DER orchestration for utility and industrial customers. It competes with Xendee across both design/optimization and live operations, but as part of ABB's much broader electrification and automation portfolio.

Regional players

• PowerSecure (Southern Company): PowerSecure, a Southern Company subsidiary, designs, builds, and operates distributed energy and microgrid projects, increasingly with proprietary software and control layers. It overlaps with Xendee in C&I and utility microgrid deployment, but is more vertically integrated as an EPC + software provider in North America.
