Energy Storage Consulting Services

WattJoule was founded in 2012 by Greg Cipriano and Dr. Frank Gibbard, experienced entrepreneurs in the energy business, and knowledgeable about difficult new product innovation and commercialization challenges.

WattJoule initially focused its efforts on the energy storage market, as a provider of world-class engineering services and technology development with specialized expertise in flow batteries and in particular, vanadium redox flow batteries.  In our early work, we developed a platform technology based on over $20 million worth of early R&D work funded by the DOE, DOD, and the NSF starting in 2010.  Based on this work, WattJoule developed an IP portfolio consisting of patents, exclusive licenses, trade secrets and valuable hands-on know-how. WattJoule exclusively licensed this technology platform to a large energy company in 2021.

After exiting from the development side of the business, WattJoule solely focused its efforts on energy storage consulting services.  We now provide a bespoke menu of services in project deployment, product development, and US-based manufacturing.  These services complement our Client’s current capabilities and fill critical people needs as they occur.

Over the last 13 years, WattJoule has been working with a variety of both lithium and non-lithium based energy storage systems, making us experienced subject matter experts (SME) in the energy storage industry, for both our Clients and the US Department of Energy.  Throughout this period, we have built a lot of valuable relationships in the industry and developed a highly experienced resource network.  Our combined expertise and network can help you accelerate the commercialization and deployment of both new and existing energy storage systems, and related electrification products.  We focus on serving the unique needs of your company and couple that with our entrepreneurial mind-set driven to accomplish your high-impact objectives.
