PowerFlex Surpasses 500 MW Solar, 50 MWh Storage, and 50,000 EV Chargers Under Management
PowerFlex, a leading provider of onsite clean technology solutions across North America, announced today that it has achieved three major milestones: over 500 megawatts (MW) of commercial solar installed, more than 50 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage deployed, and upwards of 50,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers under management. These accomplishments underscore the company’s accelerating momentum in delivering integrated solar, storage, and EV charging solutions, all coordinated through its proprietary adaptive energy management platform, PowerFlex X™.
These milestones highlight PowerFlex’s growing impact on the energy landscape, demonstrating how integrated, onsite solutions can simultaneously reduce costs, lower emissions, and enhance resilience for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. The company’s portfolio now spans nearly 1,000 sites across North America and has enabled 170 million electric miles through its managed EV charging network—equivalent to providing annual clean energy to power more than 100,000 U.S. homes.
PowerFlex is recognized as one of the largest installers of commercial solar in the United States and oversees the nation’s second-largest Level 2 EV charging network. Collectively, its solar and energy storage deployments offset roughly 460,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, while also helping customers reduce their energy bills through strategic onsite generation, storage, and demand management.
“Reaching these milestones reflects years of dedicated execution by our team and strategic partners,” said Raphael Declercq, Chief Executive Officer of PowerFlex. “By unifying solar, storage, and EV charging under the PowerFlex X™ platform, we’re delivering tangible cost savings and emissions reductions today—while simultaneously building the foundation for the digital grids of tomorrow.”
The company’s achievements are supported by its partnership with EDF Power Solutions. Tristan Grimbert, President & CEO of EDF Power Solutions, noted, “PowerFlex combines the innovation of Silicon Valley with EDF’s global energy expertise. Today’s milestones demonstrate the strength of this approach and our shared commitment to accelerating reliable, customer-centric clean energy deployment across North America.”
Integrated Solutions for Commercial and Industrial Customers
PowerFlex’s approach focuses on providing actionable value to commercial and industrial organizations. By combining solar generation, energy storage, and EV charging within a single, software-led platform, the company helps businesses:
- Lower operating costs through demand charge management, time-of-use optimization, and intelligent EV charging strategies.
- Reduce carbon emissions and advance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals with measurable, auditable outcomes.
- Enhance energy resilience through onsite storage, backup power, and microgrid capabilities.
At the core of these benefits is PowerFlex X™, the company’s proprietary energy management platform. PowerFlex X™ is designed to maximize value from onsite energy resources by:
- Dispatching energy storage intelligently, shifting load according to tariffs, demand charges, and grid conditions.
- Orchestrating EV charging, minimizing peak demand spikes and aligning charging schedules with onsite solar production.
- Providing actionable insights, delivering transparent data and analytics for finance, operations, sustainability, and fleet teams.
This software-led orchestration allows organizations to derive immediate cost savings while future-proofing their energy assets for evolving grid requirements, including virtual power plant (VPP) integration and participation in demand response programs.
Driving the Transition to a Cleaner, Smarter Grid
The energy sector is undergoing significant transformation, with businesses increasingly seeking ways to reduce costs, improve reliability, and accelerate decarbonization. In this context, PowerFlex’s integrated, onsite energy model is uniquely positioned to deliver value. By combining hardware deployments—solar arrays, battery storage, and EV chargers—with advanced software controls, the company offers a scalable, flexible approach to energy management that meets both today’s operational demands and tomorrow’s grid opportunities.
“Organizations are no longer just energy consumers—they are becoming energy managers and producers,” Declercq explained. “PowerFlex empowers customers to actively participate in the energy transition by leveraging onsite solar, storage, and EV infrastructure as a coordinated system, rather than isolated assets. The result is a measurable reduction in energy costs, lower emissions, and improved resilience.”
Impact and Future Outlook
PowerFlex’s portfolio growth reflects broader trends in the C&I energy market, where businesses are increasingly seeking solutions that combine cost savings with sustainability objectives. The company’s integrated approach not only helps customers achieve financial and environmental goals but also positions them to capitalize on emerging opportunities in grid services, energy markets, and virtual power plant participation.
Looking ahead, PowerFlex aims to continue expanding its footprint across North America, deploying additional solar capacity, energy storage, and EV chargers while enhancing the capabilities of PowerFlex X™. By doing so, the company seeks to further reduce customer energy costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate the adoption of resilient, software-driven energy solutions.
With more than 500 MW of solar, 50 MWh of energy storage, and 50,000 managed EV chargers already under its belt, PowerFlex is not only shaping the future of commercial clean energy but also setting a benchmark for integrated, software-led energy management in North America. As the energy landscape evolves, PowerFlex’s model demonstrates that onsite solutions—smartly orchestrated through advanced platforms—can deliver measurable impact today and pave the way for a more sustainable and reliable energy grid tomorrow.
