NeoVolta Inc., a U.S.-based energy technology company known for its scalable energy storage solutions, has announced the receipt of its first purchase order from Luminia LLC, a California-based leader in distributed energy development. This order marks the initial commercial transaction under the strategic supply collaboration the two companies introduced in December 2025, signifying an important validation of NeoVolta’s commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage platform. The purchase order is valued at approximately $1.9 million and covers 40 units of NeoVolta’s NVGAIN-125K261 battery storage system for commercial and industrial applications.
This milestone accelerates NeoVolta’s entry into the C&I storage segment by demonstrating the company’s ability to generate near-term revenue using its existing certified product suite. It also establishes the foundation for a broader, longer-term collaboration with one of the most active C&I storage developers in the United States. In December 2025, NeoVolta and Luminia announced a strategic supply framework granting NeoVolta a right of first refusal to supply battery energy storage systems for Luminia’s California-based solar-plus-storage portfolio. This portfolio holds up to 160 MWh of potential demand and an estimated $39 million in potential equipment revenue. The newly issued purchase order serves as the first concrete development within this framework.
Luminia operates as a large-scale platform developer with a strong contracted demand base and an expanding pipeline across California’s commercial, municipal, and community energy storage sectors. Its development activity positions it among the more influential players in the U.S. distributed C&I storage market. NeoVolta views this partnership not as a series of isolated projects, but as a long-range collaboration capable of driving consistent demand through multi-year cycles. Both companies anticipate that the relationship will progress beyond the current supply agreement.
As NeoVolta’s Georgia manufacturing facility approaches its planned mid-2026 production ramp-up, the collaboration is expected to evolve into joint project execution, expanded product deployments, and integrated C&I solutions that build on NeoVolta’s platform capabilities. The commercial and industrial energy storage segment is expanding rapidly, yet it remains underserved by companies focused solely on residential installations or large utility-scale engineering firms. In this landscape, the demand for reliable, domestically sourced, and fully certified solutions is increasing. NeoVolta believes its integrated approach is well suited to meet this need.
By combining a market-ready, certified product portfolio with a developer partner offering both turnkey EPC and financing capabilities, NeoVolta is able to deliver structured, bankable C&I energy storage solutions. Its new Georgia manufacturing facility is set to reinforce this position by providing domestic production capacity aligned with IRA incentive structures. This first purchase order illustrates that NeoVolta’s strategy is already producing results. The company is securing C&I business ahead of its manufacturing ramp-up and is doing so with a partner whose project pipeline is among the most active in the market.
NeoVolta Chief Executive Officer Ardes Johnson emphasized the importance of this milestone, noting that the December collaboration was intended to create a platform for ongoing demand. He stated that this first purchase order demonstrates the effectiveness of that vision and anticipates a deeper partnership as NeoVolta expands its operations and integrated solutions. David Field, CEO and Co-Founder of Luminia, highlighted that the order represents the beginning of a repeatable, programmatic deployment model. He noted the rising demand from C&I customers seeking domestically sourced and fully certified battery storage systems, and that this transaction marks the start of a consistent project pipeline with NeoVolta.
This transaction plays a key role in NeoVolta’s broader objective to develop a vertically integrated energy solutions platform spanning residential, C&I, and utility-scale markets. The company’s C&I strategy relies on partnerships with established developers and financing entities such as Luminia. Through these collaborations, NeoVolta aims to offer comprehensive energy storage solutions rather than functioning solely as an equipment supplier.
The relationship with Luminia also provides NeoVolta with visibility into future demand, supporting production planning at the Georgia facility. The plant will begin with an annual capacity of 2 GWh, with the potential to scale up to 8 GWh based on future investment and operational milestones. Under the current purchase order, NeoVolta will supply 40 units of the NVGAIN-125K261 system and provide on-site commissioning support at selected project locations. The company will release updates as additional developments arise within the broader collaboration.
