Reliable clean power, without buying an entire energy system.
voltswapp delivers portable all-in-one battery and inverter energy docks from 1kWh to 5kWh. Rent, subscribe or buy — and when the charge runs low, we swap it.
The dock, in short
- Lithium battery + inverter in one portable unit
- 1kWh, 2kWh, 3kWh, 4kWh and 5kWh capacities
- No roof work, wiring project or installation crew
- Managed units monitored through the intended IoT system
- Swap workflow through hubs and riders when charge runs low
Hardware described here is intended design, not a proven production unit.
The access gap
Energy is available. Access is the problem.
The challenge isn't simply producing energy. It is getting reliable energy to people when they need it, in the amount they need, without prohibitive upfront investment or the burden of owning and managing the infrastructure. voltswapp changes that equation.
Available energy
Solar, batteries, grid electricity and generators all show that ways to produce and store electricity already exist. Availability is not the missing piece.

- BatteriesStorage technology exists
- Grid supplyDistribution exists
- GeneratorsBackup power exists
Access barriers
What stands between people and reliable clean power is rarely the technology. It is everything you must buy, learn and maintain before the technology is usable.
High upfront cost
A full solar-and-battery system is a capital purchase before a single hour of power is used.
Ownership & maintenance burden
Once you own it, you also own the servicing, replacements and faults that follow.
Unreliable, fragmented supply
Power is pieced together across grid, fuel and backup, with no single dependable source.
Technical complexity
Sizing, wiring, installation and monitoring demand knowledge most households and SMEs don't want to acquire.
Financing limitations
Access often depends on the ability to pay a large amount at once, rather than pay as you use.
Hard to scale up or down
A system bought for today's load becomes the wrong size the moment needs change.
How voltswapp removes the friction
Customers shouldn't have to become energy-infrastructure managers just to access electricity.
Step 1 of 8
Choose the capacity you need
Pick a 1kWh to 5kWh energy dock based on what you actually want to power — not on what a fixed installation forces on you.
From owning energy infrastructure to simply accessing energy.
voltswapp turns energy access into a simple service experience — choose a capacity, use the power, and let us handle charging, swapping and maintenance.
Three ways to access power
Rent it, subscribe to it, or own it
The same dock, three commercial models — so access matches the need instead of the budget deciding everything.
Rent one-time
Short-term power for an event, a project or a rough week of supply. Return it when you're done.
Subscribe monthly
Continuous managed power with monitoring, swapping and maintenance included in the plan.
Buy outright
Own the dock if you prefer. Charge it through standard inputs and keep full control of the unit.

Pilot estimateThe swap lifecycle
What happens when your dock runs low
One loop, five steps — the same loop you can walk through in the customer, rider and hub prototypes.
- 1
Charge runs low
Managed docks report state of charge; a low reading raises an alert.
- 2
Swap requested
You confirm a delivery window and serving hub, or the swap is proposed for you.
- 3
Hub reserves a dock
The hub holds a charged dock of the same capacity and queues the run.
- 4
Rider delivers
The rider verifies the dock ID at pickup and swaps it at your location.
- 5
Depleted dock returns
The used dock goes back to the hub, is charged and re-enters the pool.
Who it's for
Built for people who just need the power on
Homes
Lights, fans, fridge, entertainment and devices through the night.
Small businesses
Shops, salons, studios and offices that lose money when power stops.
Workspaces
Routers, POS terminals, laptops and small equipment clusters.
The operating model
Hubs, riders and telemetry keep the power flowing
The intended operating system behind the service — explorable in the prototype dashboards.
IoT monitoring
Managed docks are designed to report charge, health and usage continuously.
Rider network
Charged docks are delivered and depleted ones collected on a swap run.
Hub charging
Hubs charge, test and service docks so customers never handle upkeep.
Managed service
Faults, servicing and replacements sit with voltswapp, not the customer.
