Onsite renewable energy systems with integrated storage and optimization
Wattstor designs and operates behind-the-meter renewable energy and battery storage systems for commercial customers. The tech stack—Python, InfluxDB, Modbus, OCPP—reflects a hardware-centric business requiring embedded systems integration and real-time energy monitoring. Current hiring is engineering-focused with active recruitment for mid-level and senior roles, while projects reveal two operational priorities: system architecture and compliance (AC/DC coupling, grid-code regulation), and battery optimization (BESS tuning, energy aggregation). A Python 2→3 migration and QA architecture work suggest internal technical debt being addressed alongside product maturity.
Wattstor designs, finances, builds, and operates onsite renewable energy systems paired with battery storage for commercial buildings and facilities. Customers purchase the electricity generated at rates below grid cost while Wattstor owns and optimizes the assets. The company handles the full stack: hardware selection and procurement, system architecture, regulatory compliance (safety, EMC, grid codes), ongoing operations, and energy trading. Founded in 2013 and based in London, Wattstor operates at a scale of 51–200 employees with an engineering-forward organization.
Python, Ubuntu, Docker, JavaScript, TypeScript, InfluxDB for time-series data, Modbus and OCPP for hardware communication, SQLite for local storage, and Cypress/Playwright/Selenium for testing.
System design (AC/DC coupled architectures), regulatory compliance (safety, EMC, grid codes), battery storage optimization, energy aggregation and trading, QA architecture, and automated test suite development.
