NeoVolta a U.S. energy technology company, has taken a major leap toward creating U.S.-made large-scale battery storage systems by securing $13 million in private placement financing. This significant capital injection led by Infinite Grid Capital (IGC) is designed to turn the company’s vision of domestic manufacturing into a reality strengthening America’s energy supply chain.
Powering Up Production in Georgia
The core of this strategic move is NeoVolta’s plan to enter large-scale U.S. production. A substantial part of the funding is earmarked for a potential state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Georgia.
- Initial Capacity: The proposed plant is outlined with an initial annual capacity of approximately 2 GWh (Gigawatt-hours).
- Target Market: The focus will be on utility-level and Commercial and Industrial (C&I) battery energy storage systems (BESS), significantly expanding NeoVolta’s reach beyond its current residential focus.
- Timeline: Operations are currently expected to begin ramping up in 2026, pending the finalization of definitive agreements with third-party partners.
This initiative positions NeoVolta to capitalize on federal incentives aimed at boosting U.S. battery production which is a national priority for both energy policy and economic security.
A Strategic Alliance for Growth
The financing round is anchored by Infinite Grid Capital (IGC), which committed $10 million as a strategic long-term partner.
NeoVolta CEO Ardes Johnson noted that IGC is “well-capitalized and highly aligned with our vision,” providing the necessary funding and support while keeping the company flexible for its next phase of expansion.
IGC leaders, including General Partner and CEO Frank Liu, view the partnership as a commitment to boosting American clean-energy manufacturing. Beyond the manufacturing initiative both companies plan to collaborate on future commercial deals, including potential offtake agreements that could link NeoVolta’s new products directly with IGC’s grid-scale project pipeline. This synergy ensures the new domestic batteries will have a clear path to market.
Why Domestic Manufacturing Matters Now
The move to build a 2 GWh capacity plant in the U.S. is not just a business decision—it’s a national one.
- Energy Security: Producing battery systems domestically reduces reliance on imported technologies, which is crucial for grid modernization and national energy resilience.
- Economic Competitiveness: The expansion strengthens the U.S. industrial base by adding new capabilities in a high-demand sector.
- Extreme-Weather Resilience: Large-scale battery storage is critical for maintaining power supply during major grid events and extreme weather, a growing need across the country.
If realized the Georgia facility will be a meaningful addition to U.S. battery-storage production playing a vital role in the growth of American clean-tech manufacturing.
