Yotta Energy

What Yotta Energy does

Yotta Energy is a clean energy technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2016, that designs and sells modular, solar-integrated battery storage systems for commercial and industrial buildings. The company's flagship product, the Yotta Block (YB-1, rebranded from SolarLEAF in 2025), is a 1 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) storage module that mounts directly behind a solar PV panel via a proprietary ballast-free magnetic system, eliminating roof penetrations and simplifying retrofit deployment on existing flat or low-slope commercial rooftops.

The technology stack combines the Yotta Block with the Dual Power Inverter (DPI-208/480), developed in partnership with APsystems, and the Yotta Vision cloud-based monitoring and asset management platform. Yotta expanded the portfolio in 2024–2025 to include the EV-1 commercial EV charger and announced a partnership with Upstart Power to integrate solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) generation, extending the offering from PV-plus-storage into dispatchable distributed energy resources. Manufacturing is contracted to Flex and battery cells are sourced from Murata.

Yotta's go-to-market is a hybrid hardware-sales and partnership model: storage and inverter hardware is sold through distribution channels including Krannich Solar, GreenTech Renewables, and the APsystems dealer network, complemented by direct engagement with utilities (CPS Energy, Polaris), federal agencies (Department of Defense, GSA Green Proving Ground), and commercial pilots. Revenue mechanics mix unit hardware sales with non-dilutive grant funding from the DoD, California Energy Commission, and GSA, alongside a growing base of commercial deployments across California, Texas, Nevada, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Michigan, with expansion into Latin America via investor WIND Ventures (Copec).

Core offering

Yotta Energy designs, manufactures, and sells modular solar-integrated battery storage and power-conversion products for commercial buildings. Its flagship offering is the Yotta Block (YB-1), a 1 kWh panel-level lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) storage unit with a DC-coupled, plug-and-play design that replaces traditional rooftop ballast blocks, complemented by the DPI microinverters, the Yotta Vision energy management platform, and the EV-1 commercial EV charger. These products are sold to commercial building owners, solar installers, and government/utility customers for rooftop solar-plus-storage and microgrid deployments.

Products and services

• Yotta Block (YB-1) The Yotta Block (YB-1) is a modular 1 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) panel-level energy storage unit with a DC-coupled, plug-and-play, retrofittable design that replaces traditional ballast blocks on commercial flat rooftops. It enables scalable solar-plus-storage for commercial buildings, supporting demand charge reduction, peak shaving (via Yotta Vision), and resilient on-site power. It is designed for commercial building owners, EPCs, and federal/utility customers.
• Dual Power Inverter (DPI-208 / DPI-480) The Dual Power Inverter (DPI-208 and DPI-480) is a native 3-phase, plug-and-play microinverter supporting four high-capacity solar modules per unit, designed to be interchangeable between solar and energy storage applications. It complies with rapid shutdown and California Rule 21 requirements and is aimed at commercial rooftop solar-plus-storage installations.
• Yotta Vision Yotta Vision is a cloud-based energy management and monitoring platform that provides module-level analytics, real-time communication, performance alerts, and temperature monitoring for Yotta's solar-plus-storage systems. It enables peak shaving, demand-charge management, and remote system visibility for commercial building owners and operators.
• EV-1 Commercial EV Charger The EV-1 is a Level 2 48A commercial EV charger (adjustable 16-48A) with plug-and-play installation, OCPP integration for payments and third-party networks, WiFi/LAN connectivity (4G optional), RFID authentication, and an IP65-rated enclosure. It is designed for commercial fleet and workplace EV charging, including in Yotta's microgrid-integrated deployments.
• Panel-Level Storage Package The Panel-Level Storage Package combines a 1 kWh solid-state lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery with microinverters in an integrated unit designed to drop into commercial rooftop racking systems. It targets the commercial and industrial solar market, providing panel-level storage that simplifies deployment and enables distributed energy storage on flat commercial roofs.
