- Invertix, a Munich-based company, has raised €1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Vireo Ventures
- The company’s AI systems manage more than 1.8 GW of solar capacity
- Invertix was founded after more than 5,000 interviews with European energy operators revealed a clear problem: solar and wind capacity is growing faster than the workforce needed to operate it
Invertix, a German cleantech startup, has secured €1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Vireo Ventures.
The Italian Founders Fund and angel investors in energy and AI also participated in the round.
The Munich-based startup, founded in 2026 by Joseph Perrotta and Kaan Durmaz, builds AI systems that integrate with existing software for renewable energy assets and can perform tasks autonomously, rather than just providing data to human teams.
After talking with more than 5,000 energy operators, asset managers, and independent power producers, the founders saw a clear gap: there aren’t enough skilled workers, workloads keep growing, and current software tools aren’t enough.
Invertix goes beyond monitoring software to actually carrying out tasks on its own. Instead of just alerting engineers to problems, its AI workers handle alarms, check maintenance records, send out responses, and keep compliance records without needing people to step in.
“We are not building AI to replace people. We are building it to fill a gap that is already holding back the energy transition. Europe is commissioning solar, wind, and storage faster than it can hire and train the engineers needed to operate them. Skilled operational talent is in short supply, and the workload is piling up on the teams already in place. Invertix’s AI workers take on the repetitive operational tasks, so human experts can focus on the decisions that actually require them,” says Perrotta.
The platform connects with SCADA systems, maintenance management software, ERP platforms, and energy and weather data feeds. It usually takes about 60 days to fully set up after signing a contract. Invertix’s main customers are solar and wind operators, asset managers, and infrastructure owners who manage large renewable portfolios across Europe.
The company faces competition from established platforms such as Greenbyte, Powerfactors, and Omexom, which offer performance monitoring and analytics for renewable assets. What sets Invertix apart is its shift from merely providing insights to actually taking action, eliminating the need for humans to carry out tasks rather than just improving reports.
Invertix currently manages over 1.8 GW of solar capacity through its AI workers, which the company claims is a first at this scale in the renewable energy sector. Invertix is also in commercial discussions for an additional 10 GW of capacity.
“The renewable energy sector needs more than incremental software improvements. Invertix is tackling that with a team that is hungry, ambitious, deeply focused on customer value, and already translating vision into early results. That’s why we led their pre-seed,” says Felix Krause, managing partner at Vireo Ventures.
The fresh funds will go toward three main goals: speeding up platform development, growing the team in AI engineering, software, product, and sales, and building a stronger commercial presence across Europe. Invertix also plans to expand its AI workers beyond solar to wind, battery storage, and grid operations.
