Work for Powervault: Commercial Analyst

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Powervault is on a mission to help the UK reach a sustainable net-zero carbon future with our intelligent green energy storage. We help business and home owners reduce their energy bills, cut their carbon footprint, and lower their electricity demands on the National Grid with our intelligent, energy storage product.

Powervault was the UK’s first domestic company to offer a battery storage system to homeowners who have photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to help them store excess solar energy generated during the day and use later; optimising their system and reducing their reliance on the National Grid.

We have developed a modular energy storage system that can be scaled up or down, to suit the unique needs of our customers, giving them flexibility to invest in a system that is appropriate for their needs and grow alongside them.

Powervault can also be deployed in commercial, agricultural and smaller industrial settings. Powervault also provides more granular energy consumption and generation data that can help inform load balancing which contributes to efficiency savings.
