AmpereHour builds the battery systems that let a grid store what its solar farms generate
The Pune-based company assembles modular storage systems and writes the software that runs them for utilities and industrial customers
AmpereHour, a battery energy storage systems company founded in 2017 by four IIT Bombay alumni, has been building solutions for a crucial problem: how to store excess solar energy for later use. The company's headquarters are in Pune, Maharashtra and it has a team of Ayush Misra, Rahul Shelke, Harshal Thakur, and Neehar Jathar.
India's Ministry of Power now requires solar farms to include co-located storage equal to one-tenth of the installed capacity, for at least two hours. AmpereHour has seized this opportunity, deploying more than 40 MWh of storage and having around 1,000 MWh in execution across 50 sites. Its customers range from major corporations such as IndiGrid, Cummins, Siemens, Coca-Cola, Amazon, and BRPL.
The company's hardware is modular and referred to as the AH-Stack, designed to be combined into installations of varying sizes. This allows the same product to cater to both a factory's backup power needs and a utility's grid-scale storage requirements. The company's software, ELINA, is its differentiating factor. It optimizes battery performance, integrates renewable generation, provides backup power, and supports grid stability.
AmpereHour handles installation itself, providing engineering, procurement, and construction services, which sets it apart from other storage providers. For customers buying storage for the first time, this removes the hardest part of the purchase. The company's deployment figures are substantial for its size, with more than 40 MWh commissioned and around 1,000 MWh under execution across its sites.
