What EPC Power does

EPC Power Corp., founded in 2010 and headquartered in Poway, California, designs and manufactures utility-scale silicon-carbide (SiC) power conversion systems for solar, battery energy storage, and hyperscale data center applications. The product portfolio comprises three lines built on a shared modular SiC architecture: the M System digital power processor (with proprietary Agile Grid Forming™ technology for AI data center and large BESS loads), the CAB1000 utility-grade solar and storage inverter platform, and the Power Drawer family of compact conversion units. The company operates manufacturing facilities in California and South Carolina with combined annual production capacity above 30 GW and reports more than 15 GW deployed across 62 countries, supported by an engineering and sales office in Helsinki, Finland.

The business operates a project-based, hardware-sales model targeting enterprise buyers through direct field sales and a network of strategic integration partners. Named customers and partners include battery storage providers Fluence and EVLO Energy Storage (Hydro-Québec's subsidiary), Generac Power Systems, ON.energy, UtilityInnovation Group, and ACE Engineering — covering utility-scale solar, grid-scale storage, and AI hyperscale data center applications. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts tied to project scope (3 MW to 100+ MW BESS, 1-6 MW inverter blocks), and the products carry the full certification stack for North American (UL1741, CSA 22.2) and European/IEC standards.

Following the September 2022 majority recapitalization by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Cleanhill Partners, EPC Power has materially expanded executive depth — including a new CEO from Array Technologies and 2026 board additions of former Honeywell Aerospace and CyrusOne CEOs — and reoriented the product roadmap around AI data center power conversion. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certified, manufactures exclusively in the United States, and is positioned as the only large-scale U.S. manufacturer of grid-forming power conversion systems using SiC technology.

Core offering

EPC Power designs, manufactures, and sells utility-scale power conversion systems (inverters) built on silicon carbide (SiC) technology. Its product portfolio includes the M System digital power processor, the CAB1000 utility-grade solar/storage inverter, and the modular Power Drawer family, all leveraging the proprietary Agile Grid Forming™ technology for AI data centers, battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar plants, and grid-stability applications.

Product overview

EPC Power offers a modular, platform-based portfolio of utility-scale power conversion systems built around three core inverter product lines: the M System (digital power processor with Agile Grid Forming technology for AI data centers and solar/storage), the CAB1000 (scalable utility-grade inverter platform for solar and storage), and the Power Drawer (compact modular conversion units). The company manufactures all products in the USA using silicon carbide technology. The products share a common engineering foundation (SiC architecture, grid-forming controls, modular design) but target different applications: M System for AI/mission-critical data centers and large BESS, CAB1000 for utility-scale solar/storage, and Power Drawer for compact/smaller-scale deployments. The company positions itself as the only large-scale U.S. manufacturer of grid-forming power conversion systems.
