NeoVolta has unveiled NeoVolta Power, a new joint venture with PotisEdge and LONGi aimed at establishing large‑scale battery energy storage manufacturing in Pendergrass, Georgia.
The move marks a significant shift in the company’s strategy as it transitions from a technology provider to a domestic manufacturer serving the utility‑scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) markets.
The planned facility, positioned along the I‑85 corridor, is designed for an initial 2GWh of annual output, with the ability to scale to 8GWh. Early operations will centre on prismatic‑cell battery pack assembly and DC container integration, supporting around 89 production staff once steady‑state capacity is reached.
Industry assessments, including those from the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, suggest utility‑scale and C&I systems can generate around $200 per kilowatt‑hour of installed capacity. At full utilisation, 2GWh of annual production could equate to roughly $400 million in revenue potential, though NeoVolta stresses this is illustrative rather than guidance.
Chief executive Ardes Johnson said the partnership “represents a major step forward for NeoVolta,” adding that domestic manufacturing will support rising demand for grid‑stability and peak‑management solutions.
NeoVolta will hold a 60% controlling interest in the JV, with PotisEdge and a group of strategic investors each holding 20%. The collaboration brings together NeoVolta’s US market position, PotisEdge’s BESS manufacturing expertise, and LONGi’s global renewable‑energy scale.
Initial production will prioritise utility‑scale systems, with C&I solutions increasing as demand grows. Key milestones ahead include equipment installation, service‑agreement execution, and a production ramp targeted for mid‑2026.
