NeoVolta Inc. plans to build a new battery energy storage (BESS) manufacturing facility in Pendergrass, Georgia, through a new joint venture entity named NeoVolta Power, LLC, the company announced on Tuesday. The new joint venture aims to develop local manufacturing capacity for utility-scale and commercial and industrial energy storage solutions, in addition to the products currently produced by the company.

This new factory should enable 2 GWh of annual production capacity in the start-up phase, with potential for scaling up to 8 GWh. NeoVolta anticipates mass production in mid-2026, in which it intends to start by manufacturing battery packs based on prismatic cells and DC containers. Some 89 production employment positions were projected for this steady-state capacity.

Ownership

NeoVolta will take a 60% stake in the new company and control the majority of its five-member governing board. The remaining stake will be held by PotisEdge and a syndicate of strategic investors. NeoVolta said that it plans to consolidate the financials of the new company on U.S. GAAP when agreements are reached.

PotisEdge, which is a subsidiary of LONGi Green Energy and has experience in the installation of large-scale battery systems, would offer manufacturing support, according to the press release. LONGi is a leading global solar firm that has ventured into the storage business through PotisEdge.

The company said that the home market could present new market opportunities for NeoVolta as the demand for the scale of energy storage that the utility grid requires is increasing. Battery systems in the active U.S. market have the potential to make around $200 per kilowatt hour of installed capacity, according to industry estimates.

Equity commitments and development financing

In order to facilitate its initial development stage, NeoVolta revealed that the joint venture has received equity commitments and development financing milestones. NeoVolta raised $13 million in private placement financing in the previous year with Infinite Grid Capital leading the initiative. Future development financing would involve debt and incentives in the clean industry.

The planned course of action involves equipment procurement, technical service contracts, as well as preparing the facility for start-up before the expected mid-2026 start of production.

As the U.S. pushes to expand its clean energy infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a key technology for grid stabilization and renewable integration. Domestic manufacturing initiatives, like NeoVolta’s planned BESS facility in Georgia, aim to increase supply for utility-scale and commercial applications. At the same time, project development continues to advance: BrightNight and Cordelio recently reached financial close on the Greenwater BESS in Washington, underscoring ongoing investment in operational storage capacity across multiple regions.
