No, we are a technology and energy systems company rather than a generic battery manufacturer. We do not sell batteries and are not exclusive to any battery manufacturer.

The battery provides physical storage capacity. Envol’s central value lies in assessing, integrating, operating and optimising that capacity as part of a wider local energy system.

Our technology is designed to integrate with compatible battery systems.

Existing assets would need to be assessed to confirm their controls, technical interfaces, connection arrangements and suitability for intelligent operation.

A community-scale battery is a local energy storage asset, appropriately sized to meet the needs of the community it serves.

It is typically larger than a domestic battery but smaller and more distributed than a major grid-scale battery storage. It can support a neighbourhood, development, renewable energy project or local electricity network.

No.

A battery can provide demand management, flexibility and grid support without being directly connected to renewable generation. Where solar or other local generation is available, storage can also help increase the amount of that electricity used locally.

Our predictive AI analyses local demand, renewable generation, network constraints, battery availability and market conditions.

It uses this information to make second-by-second decisions about how the connected battery should operate within agreed technical and commercial parameters.

Envol’s system engages in wholesale energy trading and real-time net imbalance arbitrage, as well as local flexibility markets, to maximise returns for asset owners.

Systems are owned by the community organisations, local authorities and housing projects we work with. However, the specific ownership and commercial structure can vary, depending on the needs of the project.

Timescales depend on the site, grid connection availability, planning requirements and project complexity.

The process typically takes 3-6 months, but this can be longer for more complex projects.

Energy assets generate revenue by engaging in energy markets and providing grid services.

For example, batteries can charge when electricity prices are cheap (typically when there is an abundance in renewable generation), and sell that power back when electricity prices are expensive (typically when there is low renewable generation or high demand).

Assets are also paid by network operators to provide additional services that keep the grid healthy, such as turning demand up or down, or delivering extra power when it’s needed.

In some cases, there will be a power purchase agreement with a particular energy user, that means systems can generate additional income by selling power directly to that user, at a pre-agreed price.

Yes. Envol’s predictive intelligence is operational and has been deployed across several sites.

Further performance evidence and case studies will be published as those projects progress.

All systems are fully certified to international safety standards, including IEC and UL regulations.

Our systems feature Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells which are inherently safer than Li-ion. Each unit also includes advanced monitoring and suppression systems to protect against any fire or electrical failure.

These systems are designed to operate safely in urban and residential environments, with minimal risk.

Designed for a 15+ year operational lifespan, with performance warranties.

Modular components allow for easy upgrades and maintenance.

End-of-life recycling plan ensure environmental responsibility.
