Power-Blox

Power-Blox AG is a Swiss company founded in July 2015 that develops and produces intelligent swarm electrification solutions for off-grid and remote areas. The company's core technology, "Swarm Power," uses an algorithm that allows its modular energy cubes to form a decentralized, self-regulating, and scalable power grid without needing centralized control or complex configuration. This enables the system to intelligently manage power generation, storage, and distribution from various energy sources like solar or wind.

The primary product is the PBX-200, a portable energy cube with an integrated battery designed to electrify households and small businesses in areas with unreliable or non-existent power grids. A single cube provides 200 watts of AC power, sufficient for lighting, a refrigerator, a television, and charging devices. Users can easily scale the system by connecting multiple cubes, similar to Lego blocks, to increase power output and storage capacity as their needs grow, creating nano-grids of up to 10 kW. This "plug and power" architecture eliminates the need for professional installation or maintenance.

Power-Blox serves clients in regions like Africa, Asia, and Central and South America, targeting applications in rural electrification, healthcare facilities, small businesses, disaster relief, and remote infrastructure. The business model includes direct sales and a pay-as-you-go system where local agents sell prepaid electricity packages to households. Co-founded by Alessandro Medici, the company aims to provide a robust and adaptable solution to energy challenges in underserved markets.
