Kilowatt Labs

What Kilowatt Labs does

Kilowatt Labs is a privately held New York-headquartered energy storage company (founded 2015, 251-500 employees) that designs and manufactures supercapacitor-based electrostatic energy storage modules under the Sirius brand and an integrated power electronics platform, the Centauri Energy Server, for microgrid applications. Its core technology stores energy electrostatically with no chemical reaction or electrolyte, enabling degradation-free cycling, 100% usable capacity across a -10°C to 55°C operating range, fast charge/discharge rates up to 3.2C, and a warranty of up to 25 years — performance and durability claims that materially exceed conventional VRLA (≤5 years) and lithium-ion (≤10 years) alternatives. Manufacturing is conducted through Infusion Power Industries LLC, a wholly owned Dubai facility described as the largest supercap storage facility in the world, with 250MWh/year capacity scalable to 600MWh.

The company monetizes through multiple revenue streams: direct hardware sales of Sirius modules (low-voltage 465Wh–7,100Wh and medium-voltage 3,000Wh–15,000Wh variants) and Centauri Energy Servers (20kW/40kW/80kW) for telecom, solar+storage, UPS, forklift, and microgrid applications; an OFS licensing program allowing OEM partners to integrate Sirius into drones, medical apparatus, AGVs, and mining equipment; and a global tiered distribution architecture of exclusive Value Added Resellers (requiring 5+ years operating history), Regional Stockists, and Infusion License Partners across 30+ countries on four continents. Customer deployments span enterprise telecom (AT&T, with an Etisalat-branded product line), community microgrids (Dukana, Kenya), humanitarian healthcare (Medical Store Limited, Zambia funded by Innovation Norway/UNDP), residential and agricultural off-grid systems (South Africa), and renewable integrators (Veida Renewable Energy, Australia). Named outcomes include 86% diesel runtime reduction at an AT&T cell site and 96.7%–99.1% Centauri system efficiency versus 60%–80% for legacy microgrid stacks.

Core offering

Kilowatt Labs develops and manufactures supercapacitor-based electrostatic energy storage modules under the Sirius brand and an integrated power-electronics microgrid platform called the Centauri Energy Server. The Sirius modules are offered in low-voltage (12V-48V, 465Wh-7100Wh), medium-voltage (192V-384V, 3000Wh-15000Wh), fifth-generation, OFS (Open Frame), IHS and Etisalat-specific configurations for telecom BTS, solar+storage, UPS, forklift/material handling and microgrid applications. The Centauri Energy Server is offered in 20kW, 40kW, and 80kW ratings, scalable from kW to MW, and combines PV inverter, MPPT, battery inverter, SCADA, and microgrid controller functions in a single unit.

Product overview

Kilowatt Labs offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on two groundbreaking technologies: Sirius supercap storage (a degradation-free supercapacitor-based energy storage system) and Centauri Energy Server (an integrated power electronics platform for microgrids). The product portfolio includes Sirius low voltage modules (12V-48V, 465Wh-7100Wh), medium voltage modules (192V-384V, 3000Wh-15000Wh), 5th generation modules, OFS modules for partner integration, IHS modules, and Etisalat-specific modules. These storage modules work with the Centauri Energy Server (20kW, 40kW, 80kW variants) to deliver complete microgrid solutions. The company also provides proprietary monitoring software platforms including SiriusVIEW, CentauriVIEW, SiriusCRM, and MicroGridVIEW for remote monitoring and control of their energy systems.

Direct peers

• Skeleton Technologies: Skeleton Technologies is the closest technology analog — a supercapacitor-based energy storage company selling modules and full systems into transport, industrial, and grid applications, directly competing with Sirius on the core supercap value proposition.
• Vertiv: Vertiv specializes in critical digital infrastructure power and cooling — including telecom backup power and data center UPS — and competes with Sirius+Centauri in cell-tower, UPS, and microgrid deployments serving enterprise and telecom customers.
• Fluence Energy: Fluence is a direct peer offering grid-scale battery-based energy storage and integrated software for renewable integration and microgrids, competing for the same utility, commercial, and microgrid customers as Kilowatt Labs' Centauri + Sirius platform.
• EnerSys: EnerSys manufactures industrial batteries and energy storage for telecom backup, UPS, motive power (forklifts), and grid applications — directly overlapping Kilowatt Labs' primary verticals of telecom BTS, UPS, and forklift opportunity charging.
• Saft (TotalEnergies): Saft designs and manufactures advanced batteries and energy storage for telecom backup, industrial UPS, and grid/microgrid markets — a direct storage-system peer whose product lines overlap with Sirius supercap modules and Centauri microgrid deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy: Tesla's energy business (Powerwall, Megapack, Autobidder) is a broad incumbent in commercial/utility energy storage and microgrid solutions; one Australian VAR even replaced Tesla Powerwalls with Sirius, positioning Tesla as the benchmark Kilowatt Labs competes against in solar+storage.
• Generac (Energy Storage / PWRcell): Generac dominates backup power and residential/commercial energy storage (PWRcell, ecobee) as a broad incumbent; its residential solar+storage and microgrid offerings compete head-on with Centauri-based home systems in Kilowatt Labs' target markets.
• Eaton: Eaton is a broad incumbent in power management, switchgear, UPS, and microgrid systems; its integrated electrical infrastructure offerings sit alongside Kilowatt Labs in commercial/industrial microgrid and data-center UPS markets.
• ABB (Electrification / Microgrid Solutions): ABB supplies switchgear, power electronics, and packaged microgrid solutions to utilities and industrial customers; their Microgrid Plus and Powerstore products compete with the Centauri Energy Server at the integrated microgrid controller layer.

Emerging players

• Bloom Energy: Bloom Energy's solid-oxide fuel cells plus storage solutions target always-on, behind-the-meter and microgrid customers; the architecture (single integrated box delivering reliable behind-the-meter power) parallels Centauri's plug-and-play microgrid positioning.
