THE TECHNOLOGY
PowerNest.Energy is a universal, high-efficiency, 4 kW modular wireless energy transfer platform. designed for charging mid-power autonomous systems.
It also enables the creation of mobile microgrids in areas where traditional grid infrastructure is unavailable or has failed.
Using bidirectional Inductive Power Transfer (IPT), PowerNest delivers hands-free energy - no cables, ports, or manual intervention required. It works seamlessly with both stationary and portable energy sources, including renewable options, to support direct charging of autonomous systems or remote energy transfer between locations.
These capabilities make PowerNest ideal for field-forward operations, disaster relief, and remote infrastructure deployment, where resilient, portable energy is critical. Built for rugged environments, it is engineered for fast setup, seamless system integration, and sustained mission performance.
