Episode Details

Ideal Powers Q1 2026 update showcases a thriving commercial sector, with lead customer projects for solid state circuit breakers on track for eight hundred volt AI data centers and grids by 2026. The sales funnel has expanded to a three hundred million dollar opportunity, spanning AI data centers, autos, and industrials. New projects with the lead customer include medium current breakers for data centers and EV charging, as well as smart buildings. A letter of intent has been signed to co-develop a prototype for a US hyperscaler testing NVIDIAs Rubin Ultra rack system. Samples have been shipped to Stellantis for EVs, with completion expected in mid 2026. Asia suppliers have been engaged for solid state transformers. The shift towards eight hundred volt DC in AI data centers presents an opportunity for B-TRAN, as traditional breakers cannot meet the demands of one megawatt racks by 2030. Ideal Power holds one hundred three patents worldwide, safeguarding their edge. Financials indicate smart spending, with cash burn at two point three million dollars, operating expenses at three point seven million, and a net loss of three point six million. No revenue has been generated yet as prototypes ramp up. The company expects full year burn around ten to ten point five million, with plans to hire sales and engineering teams to push deals. Manufacturing is ready, with foundries lined up and automotive qualification set to wrap up this summer. Strategic investor talks are ongoing, with a tighter funnel and biweekly reviews. Momentum is building as Ideal Power pursues design wins and transitions into revenue.
