About

Powerfull Solutions

Powerfull Solutions was founded in 2019 and provides its customers with energy storage solutions, aimed to bring their systems’ performance to its best, adding significant value to the project. Powerfull Solutions utilizes its capabilities in diverse types of processes, and is able to provide specific products and services as part of a larger system or project, as well as a turn-key solution. The company has strong R&D capabilities both for its own IP development as well as in collaborations with other companies and/or academic institutes. Powerfull Solutions has a game changing product designed for systems performing frequency regulation in the U.S East coast PJM market. The regulation changes in January 2017 turned the dispatching signal (RegD) into a very intense one, accelerating battery degradation. The Powerfull Solutions ESS Optimizer dramatically improves system performance, is easily installed, and brings great value to the project from day 1, regardless of when during the project’s lifetime it is installed.
