Solar power company Turbo Energy is taking its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered energy storage platform straight into live military ops with the Spanish Army, marking a shift toward defense-focused applications.
The Valencia-based firm confirmed the system is already running in the field, delivering autonomous power in off-grid and infrastructure-limited environments where energy reliability can make or break missions.
Built as a modular, containerized unit, the platform integrates solar generation, battery storage, and backup power into a single deployable unit.
It can be transported via standard land, air, or sea logistics and made operational in under 10 minutes.
Turbo Energy said the system could power critical systems, including command and control, communications, and frontline equipment.
At its core is an AI-driven energy management system that constantly adjusts power distribution based on real time conditions.
Using predictive inputs such as weather data and demand patterns, the platform balances energy flow, reduces fuel consumption, and keeps defense systems up and running.
‘Strategic Capability’ for Modern Ops
The company added that the storage system could reduce reliance on fuel convoys, a known vulnerability in deployed environments.
It could also lower the overall logistical footprint, simplifying sustainment in dispersed operations.
“Energy is no longer a supporting function in operations — it is a strategic capability,” said Mariano Soria, CEO at Turbo Energy.
“This deployment demonstrates how our AI-driven platform enables real operational autonomy, transforming energy infrastructure into an intelligent, adaptive system capable of performing under the most demanding conditions.”
Soria also pointed to the company’s push beyond traditional commercial and industrial markets, emphasizing its growing focus on “mission-critical” support for militaries and first responders.
“Defense and emergency response represent a natural extension of our platform’s capabilities and a significant opportunity for future growth,” he stated.
