Yotta Energy will unveil its new Yotta Block product at Intersolar North America next week. The next-generation of its SolarLEAF panel-level battery is engineered to replace a standard ballast block behind solar modules, eliminating the need for dedicated battery space.
“Yotta Block is a game-changer for commercial solar storage,” said Jordan Harris, CEO of Yotta Energy. “By designing a battery that replaces a standard ballast block, we’ve eliminated installation barriers and freed up valuable rooftop space — all without sacrificing power or intelligence. It’s the perfect solution for businesses looking to cut energy costs and boost sustainability.”
The commercial and industrial (C&I) sector accounts for 75% of U.S. electricity consumption and 35% of greenhouse gas emissions, yet only 1% of commercial sites have solar PV — and even fewer have storage. Against this backdrop of evolving energy demands, a primary challenge the C&I market faces is space and installation complexity. Traditional battery storage requires additional infrastructure, electrical work and engineering. Yotta Block changes this dynamic by making energy storage easier to install and scale and removes the need for complex permitting.
Yotta Block is modular and scalable — expanding in 1-kWh increments. It has universal compatibility and works with high-capacity solar panels and multiple racking systems. The Yotta Block’s passive cooling technology maximizes battery life. It also directly connects with Yotta’s Dual Power Inverters (DPI) for 208-V or 480-V three-phase output.
Yotta Energy is working with installers, EPC firms and distribution partners such as Greentech Renewables to bring Yotta Block to market.
