NeoVolta Receives $1.9 Million First Purchase Order from Luminia, Accelerating Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage Platform
Rhea-AI Summary
NeoVolta (NASDAQ: NEOV) received a $1.9 million purchase order from Luminia for 40 NVGAIN-125K261 C&I battery systems, the first definitive transaction under their December 2025 supply collaboration. The order validates NeoVolta's C&I strategy and precedes a planned mid-2026 production ramp at its Georgia facility (initial 2 GWh capacity, scalable to 8 GWh).
The collaboration framework represents up to 160 MWh of potential supply, approximately $39 million in potential equipment revenue, and signals near-term C&I revenue while larger volume conversion remains prospective.
Positive

- On-site commissioning included with the 40-unit supply order
Negative
- Initial $1.9M order is a small portion of the $39M potential revenue
- Majority of the 160 MWh pipeline remains prospective and not yet contracted

Initial Order for 40 FEOC-Compliant C&I Battery Storage Systems Marks First Definitive Transaction Under Strategic Supply Collaboration and Validates NeoVolta's Position as a Leading Integrated C&I Energy Storage Provider
SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoVolta Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOV) (“NeoVolta” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based energy technology company delivering scalable energy storage solutions, today announced it has received its first purchase order from Luminia LLC (“Luminia”), a California-based leader in distributed energy development, under the strategic supply collaboration the two companies announced in December 2025.
The purchase order, valued at approximately
Unlocking the Broader Opportunity: From Supply Agreement to Strategic Collaboration
In December 2025, NeoVolta and Luminia announced a strategic supply collaboration framework under which NeoVolta would receive a right of first refusal to supply battery energy storage systems across Luminia's portfolio of California solar-plus-storage projects, representing up to 160 MWh of potential supply and approximately
Luminia operates as a platform-scale developer with a substantial contracted demand base and a growing active project pipeline across California's commercial, municipal, and community energy storage market. The company's development activity positions it as one of the more significant participants in the U.S. C&I distributed storage segment, and NeoVolta views the relationship as a platform for sustained, multi-year demand rather than a series of isolated transactions.
While this initial purchase order reflects the existing supply collaboration framework, both companies expect the relationship to evolve into a deeper strategic relationship encompassing joint project execution, expanded product deployment, and integrated C&I solutions as NeoVolta's Georgia manufacturing facility ramps toward mid-2026 production.
A Validation of NeoVolta's Integrated C&I Strategy
The C&I energy storage segment represents a significant and growing market opportunity, one that has historically been underserved by both residential installers and large utility-scale EPC firms. Demand for bankable, FEOC-compliant, domestically sourced solutions is accelerating, and NeoVolta believes its integrated platform is uniquely positioned to meet it.
By combining a certified, market-ready product portfolio with an established developer partner offering turnkey EPC and project financing capabilities, NeoVolta is able to offer C&I customers fully structured, bankable energy storage solutions. The Company's Georgia manufacturing facility, on track for a mid-2026 production ramp, will further strengthen this position by adding domestic supply capacity aligned with IRA incentive frameworks.
Today's purchase order is tangible evidence that this strategy is working. NeoVolta is winning C&I business now, with existing products, ahead of its manufacturing ramp, and alongside a partner with one of the most active project pipelines in the U.S. C&I market.
“Receiving this first purchase order from Luminia is a significant milestone that validates both our C&I strategy and the strength of our relationship,” said Ardes Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of NeoVolta. “When we announced our collaboration with Luminia in December, we described it as a platform capable of driving sustained demand over time. This purchase order is the first evidence of exactly that, and we expect this relationship to continue to deepen as we bring our Georgia manufacturing facility online and expand our integrated C&I solutions.”
“This first purchase order is an important step in executing a programmatic deployment model we’ve built to scale across commercial and community portfolios,” said David Field, CEO and Co-Founder of Luminia. “The demand we are seeing from C&I customers for domestically sourced, fully certified battery storage solutions is real and growing and this order marks the beginning of a repeatable project pipeline with NeoVolta.”
Accelerating NeoVolta's Multi-Vertical Platform
This transaction is a meaningful proof point in NeoVolta's broader strategy to build a vertically integrated energy solutions platform spanning residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale markets. NeoVolta's C&I approach is built on partnering with established project developers and financing platforms such as Luminia, enabling the Company to offer customers fully structured, bankable energy storage solutions rather than simply supplying hardware.
The Luminia relationship also provides forward demand visibility that supports production planning at NeoVolta's Georgia manufacturing facility, where initial 2 GWh annual capacity – scalable to 8 GWh subject to additional capital investment and operational milestones – is expected to ramp in mid-2026.
NeoVolta will supply 40 units of the NVGAIN-125K261 under this purchase order, including on-site commissioning support across selected sites. The Company will provide updates on material developments under the broader Luminia collaboration as they occur.
