Yotta Energy, Inc.

Yotta Energy, Inc. is a privately held, venture-backed energy-storage manufacturer headquartered in Austin, Texas. Sources differ on the founding year (2016 per most trackers and the company's own materials; some profiles list 2017). It was founded by Omeed Badkoobeh and Vikram Iyengar and is led today by CEO Jordan Harris. Yotta has raised roughly $30M+ in equity and grant funding across seed through Series B rounds, with investors including WIND Ventures (Copec), Evergy Ventures, EDP Ventures, BlueScopeX, Riverstone Holdings and Doral Energy-Tech Ventures; a grant round was backed by the California Energy Commission. Headcount is small — third-party trackers put it in the range of roughly 35–45 employees. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Yotta develops panel-level ("module-level") battery storage for commercial and industrial rooftops. Its flagship product, SolarLEAF (subsequently branded Yotta Block), is a ~1 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery with passive phase-change thermal management designed to mount in rooftop racking beneath individual PV modules. The company also offers three-phase microinverters (DPI-208/DPI-480), the Yotta Vision energy management software platform, and integrations spanning solar, storage, EV charging, load management and backup generation. It is an operating company with paying customers and installed projects in Texas, California and other states, not a shell or licensing entity.

Litigation posture: the structured data show Yotta as a defendant in one case and plaintiff in none — the classic profile of an operating company being sued, not an assertion-driven entity. The single tracked suit is CyboEnergy, Inc. v. Yotta Energy, Inc. (1:25-cv-01300), filed August 13, 2025 in the W.D. Tex., Austin Division, asserting U.S. Patent Nos. 9,331,488 and 9,331,489 on smart/scalable power inverters and low-light solar power production. CyboEnergy markets its own CyboInverter line, but Unified Patents lists the same patents in PATROLL prior-art contests and characterizes CyboEnergy as an NPE that has also asserted them against Duracell, Home Depot, Northern Electric Power, Deye and others. The case is too recent for a merits ruling; nothing here indicates Yotta itself asserts patents.
