HyWatts

HyWatts provides modular, zero-emission energy systems that generate renewable power on-site and store surplus energy as hydrogen for on-demand electricity generation. The Power-Plant-in-a-Box™ system, offered in S, M, and L configurations up to 10+ MW, supports applications from EV charging hubs to AI data centers without requiring grid upgrades. A deployment for an EV charging hub in Sacramento, CA, demonstrates the system's ability to deliver power at less than half the price per kWh compared to standard utilities.

Product

Problem

Traditional grid infrastructure is slow and expensive to expand or upgrade, limiting the deployment of EV charging stations, data centers, and sustainable housing projects. Reliance on diesel generators or batteries for off-grid or constrained locations remains costly, carbon-intensive, or insufficient for high-demand applications.

Solution

HyWatts delivers a turnkey, modular energy platform called the Power-Plant-in-a-Box™ that generates, stores, and dispatches clean electricity entirely on-site. The system captures surplus renewable energy generation and converts it into hydrogen, which can be stored and converted back into electricity on demand. Available in three scalable configurations—S (up to 1 MW), M (1-10 MW), and L (10+ MW)—the solution delivers affordable, reliable power for applications ranging from remote EV charging to large data centers. The platform is designed for rapid deployment in months rather than years and provides lower cost per kWh than batteries or grid expansion, while delivering zero emissions.

Target Audience

Primary customers are developers and operators of EV charging hubs, AI and data center facilities, housing and community projects, and industrial sites that need reliable, low-cost power without waiting for grid upgrades.

Features

  • Power-Plant-in-a-Box™ integrates on-site renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and fuel-cell-based electricity conversion in a single modular system
  • Hydrogen acts as a long-duration energy storage medium, enabling multi-day operation and seasonal coverage
  • Three standardized configurations (S, M, L) scale from 1 MW to 10+ MW to match project-specific demand
  • Turnkey design supports installation in months, significantly faster than typical grid upgrade timelines
  • Zero-emission operation suitable for strict environmental compliance requirements
  • Modular architecture enables capacity scaling as demand grows, from single EV stations to utility-scale complexes
