Electrification
Fleets, heat, industrial processes moving from fuel to electricity. Every new load needs infrastructure.
Open DC Platform
The electrical architecture for commercial & industrial power
Joule Junction is building the open DC platform for commercial and industrial energy — one DC backbone, IEEE 2030.5-native metering, and software that optimizes every source and load on site.

Why now
Why 800V DC, why now
Three macro shifts converging on commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure — demanding a rethink beyond incremental equipment on an AC-first spine.
AI load growth
GPU racks at 400 kW–1 MW make 54V distribution physically non-viable. 800V DC is the only path.
Grid congestion
Connection queues stretching years. The bottleneck is distribution, not generation.
Platform
Three layers. One platform.
Not three products in a brochure. One stack where every layer reinforces the next — power, measurement, and optimisation.
Power
DC BUS
The physical DC backbone. SST, BusWay, PCS, protection, and grid interface in one architecture — current flagship 800 V DC.
- Solid State Transformer (SST)
- DC BusWay
- Power Conversion System (PCS)
- Protection, controls
Measurement
Metering
IEEE 2030.5-native data layer. Measurement at every point — grid edge, DC bus, load, charger.
- IEEE 2030.5 Smart Meters
- DC Energy Meters
- Sensors & Data Acquisition
- OCPP 2.0.1 / 2.1 Charging Metering
Optimisation
Energy Management
Software that optimizes. The layer customers evaluate first.
- Forecasting
- Tariff optimisation
- Battery optimisation
- Solar optimisation
Architecture
Systems, not a product catalogue
Energy flows first — grid edge, conversion, shared DC bus, connected loads — before any SKU. Products plug into this graph; they are not the graph.
One open DC spine so generation, storage, charging, and industrial loads share power and data without rebuilding the electrical architecture for every new load.

Architecture that supports buyer goals
Each objective maps to platform composition — not a single box.
| Objective | Architecture response |
|---|---|
| Reduce electricity cost | Solar + Storage on DC BUS |
| Increase grid capacity | DC BUS + Grid Interface |
| Electrify fleet | Fleet Charging on DC BUS |
| Avoid network upgrades | BESS + PCS on DC BUS |
| Improve resilience | Microgrid on DC BUS |
| Reduce emissions | DC BUS + Energy Management |
| Generate new revenue | Metering + VPP |
Deploy
One platform. Many scales.
Capacity families group deployment ranges. Hardware plugs into the stack — you do not pick a kW SKU and hope the architecture scales.
Standards
Designed around open standards
Not a certification claim — open-standards architecture for utility-ready interoperability, DER markets, and charging protocols.
IEEE 2030.5
Smart energy profile — DER, BTM, demand response, VPP. Native, not bridged.
OCPP 2.0.1 / 2.1
EV charging communication + metering.
ISO 15118-2 / -20
V2X — V2G, V2H, V2L, V2B — all DC output voltages.
IEC 62443
Cybersecurity — secure comms, certificate management, remote updates, identity management.
Solutions
Built for real commercial problems
Each solution starts from a buyer pain — then maps to platform layers and a projected commercial outcome.
