48V DC Nanogrids, Flexible DC-DC Converters, Technical Consulting, Developing World Electrification
Solar panels, batteries, and many types of loads are all natively DC. Low-voltage DC nanogrids are ideal in any off-grid application; they avoid the costs of permitting and safety, grid interconnection, and conversion between AC and DC to connect solar and storage. However, 48V DC systems are surprisingly difficult to develop due to the lack of flexible and programmable DC-DC converters.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop an ecosystem of power converters easily programmable from the two most ubiquitous hobbyist platforms: the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Our goal is to democratize and open-source 48V DC systems, making them accessible to everybody.
48V DC Nanogrids
We can advise in the development of 48V DC nanogrids for many types of off-grid applications.
Flexible DC-DC Converters
Our main product, the Atverter, can be programmed for any application as easily as an Arduino. It can then be controlled via a Raspberry Pi. We will advise in how to use the Atverter into your prototypes.
Technical Consulting
We can offer consulting services to solve other technical problems in power electronics and DC nanogrids/microgrids.
Developing-World Electrification
We firmly believe that open-source plug and play 48V DC nanogrids are the best and only lasting solution for developing-world electrification. We can easily build affordable systems for these applications.
