What They Do

PowerFlex specializes in providing innovative cleantech solutions, focusing on onsite solar photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage, and smart electric vehicle (EV) charging. Their Adaptive Load Management (ALM) technology optimizes energy usage without requiring infrastructure upgrades, making it particularly appealing for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients. The company also offers microgrid solutions that enable grid-independent operations, alongside the PowerFlex X intelligent energy management platform, which integrates various energy assets for real-time optimization and monitoring (source: powerflex.com). Their products and services are designed to enhance energy security, reduce costs, and support decarbonization efforts across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and automotive (source: powerflex.com). By consolidating their offerings post-2021, PowerFlex has positioned itself as a comprehensive provider of energy solutions, leveraging patented technologies and a robust supply chain to deliver competitive pricing and financing options (source: powerflex.com).

Projects & Track Record

PowerFlex has established a strong track record with over 500 MW of commercial solar installations and more than 50 MWh of onsite energy storage currently in operation or under construction. They have deployed over 50,000 EV charging ports, contributing to the avoidance of more than 100,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions (source: powerflex.com). Notable projects include a 1 MW rooftop solar addition for ASICS at their distribution center in Byhalia, Mississippi, and the installation of 415 EV charging stations equipped with PowerFlex X technology across DHL Express service centers in major U.S. markets. Additionally, they have engaged in community solar projects for Continental Building Products and provided EV charging solutions for Ford in Palo Alto, California (source: zoominfo.com).

The company is primarily headquartered in San Diego, California, where most positions are based, although remote work options are available for certain tech roles due to the national scope of their projects (source: cbinsights.com). The culture at PowerFlex is centered around diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering an environment that encourages innovation and authentic employee experiences (source: powerflex.com).
