GridVolt offers an AI‑driven platform that optimizes commercial battery storage by forecasting load, generation and market prices 48 hours ahead and replanning dispatch every 15 minutes to trade energy on wholesale markets. The system integrates existing batteries, solar, EV chargers and building management systems without hardware changes, delivering higher revenue, peak‑shaving and faster payback for site owners and installers.

Problem
Commercial battery storage systems often deliver lower financial returns because their software is not optimized after installation, leading to underutilization of the hardware and longer payback periods.
Solution
GridVolt provides an AI-driven energy trading and management platform that integrates with existing commercial batteries, solar arrays, EV chargers, and building management systems. The platform uses machine‑learning forecasts to predict site load, generation, and market prices 48 hours ahead and replans every 15 minutes to capture real‑time wholesale price signals. Its GridTrade module automatically buys and sells energy on the wholesale market, while the Energy Manager coordinates battery dispatch, solar self‑consumption, peak‑shaving, and EV charging to maximize overall site revenue. The solution requires no hardware changes or new energy suppliers, and includes a free battery health check to quantify current versus potential performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial site owners and battery asset owners seeking higher returns, as well as installers and EPC firms that need to demonstrate robust financial models for battery projects.
