# Hover Energy

> Hover Energy is a Dallas-based clean-energy company that builds patented Wind-Powered Microgrids - rooftop arrays of compact 36 kW turbines that turn a building's own edge into a sail, combined with solar, storage, and an AI-driven control stack. The system is designed to offset most or all of a building's power use on site, delivering resilient, behind-the-meter electricity to commercial, industrial, and data-center customers. Paired with IBM's watsonx and Maximo software and scaled through joint ventures like EverOn Energy, Hover pitches an Energy-as-a-Service path to what it calls 'real zero.'

- **Founded:** 2015
- **Headquarters:** Dallas, Texas, United States
- **Founders:** Chris Griffin (CEO & Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~16 employees
- **Products:** Wind-Powered Microgrid™, Hover Array System, Microgrid Management System™ (MMS) / Integrated Energy Management System (IEMS), Energy Stack™
- **Notable:** Patented Wind-Powered Microgrid™ with a turbine array that uses the building as a sail., A rooftop microgrid withstood 105 mph gusts during Hurricane Ian., Launched scale production in January 2023 at a facility in Memphis, Tennessee.

## Products & services

- **Wind-Powered Microgrid™** — A patented system pairing an array of compact 36 kW wind turbines mounted along the windward edge of a building's roof with solar generation and battery storage, designed to offset most or all of a building's electricity use.
- **Hover Array System** — The aerodynamic rooftop turbine array that uses the building itself as a sail to accelerate wind into the turbines, engineered for low noise and low vibration in urban settings.
- **Microgrid Management System™ (MMS) / Integrated Energy Management System (IEMS)** — Software and intelligent controls that orchestrate wind, solar, and storage in real time; enhanced with IBM watsonx and Maximo for AI-driven asset management and multi-agent learning.
- **Energy Stack™** — Hover's integrated hardware-plus-software offering bundling generation, storage, and controls for behind-the-meter deployment.
