At Solar & Storage Live London this spring, Yiannis Zambas, Co-Founder of Electryone AI, caught up with Solar&StorageXtra.
Yiannis explained how Electryone AI is helping installers and asset managers unlock new revenue streams from energy storage, why energy storage is the linchpin of a decarbonised grid, and talked about their newly-launched C&I product.
“More and more solar is being installed … to ensure the grid doesn’t become overstretched or congested, there’s growing pressure to deploy battery storage.”
As software, what is Electryone AI’s role in the battery storage industry?
Yiannis: What we essentially do with our software is trade energy from behind-the-meter batteries into various flexibility and energy markets to generate extra cash.
When an installer or asset manager installs a battery alongside solar, that battery stores spare energy from the solar panels and saves it to be used during peak evening hours.
With our technology, those installers or asset managers can remotely connect to their customers’ batteries and trade that spare energy into different energy markets to generate additional revenue.
For example, they can trade that energy through the Demand Flexibility Service. When the National Grid requires help to maintain stability, it can export stored energy and generate significant new revenue. They can also help alleviate local grid constraints or use the batteries to automatically buy energy when it’s cheap and export it when it’s expensive.
Our software is essentially advanced AI models and a trading engine that make all of this happen automatically.
What our clients have told us is that even before they deploy a battery, they need to be able to show their customers how much they can expect to save – or even generate – from that battery.
What is the driving force behind Electryone AI?
Yiannis: We’re seeing this major energy transition take place, and energy storage is a key asset making it possible.
More and more solar is being installed, but solar energy is only generated when the sun is shining. To ensure the grid doesn’t become overstretched or congested, there’s growing pressure to deploy battery storage.
What we’re doing with our technology is enabling energy companies to make the economics of storage – whether commercial, industrial, or residential – more attractive for end customers.
We want it to be more than just a feel-good, sustainability-driven decision. We want it to be a smart, profitable one. By helping customers earn extra revenue from their batteries, we make the investment sensible and rewarding while also supporting grid decarbonisation.
It’s a true triple bottom line: it’s profitable for the battery owners, it creates a new business line for installers, and it’s great for the grid, replacing fossil fuels with stored solar energy.
What are you launching at Solar & Storage Live London?
Yiannis: We’re launching our C&I Simulator today. It’s a tool that enables installers and energy companies to model and visualise how much their customers can save and earn from a battery installation by trading in the flexibility and energy markets I mentioned earlier.
Armed with that data, our clients can deploy batteries at scale and use our end-to-end platform to manage flexibility revenue, making installations more profitable for themselves and their customers.
Why is Solar & Storage Live London important to Electryone AI?
Yiannis: This show attracts our core audience: installers, asset managers, and utilities – people who come to see the most advanced innovations in the market.
As an energy AI company introducing something new, this is exactly where we need to be. We can demo our solutions live, and we’ve launched our simulator here so visitors can experience the technology firsthand.
That helps us set up future meetings and get the most value out of being at the show.
