We believe that by raising the IQ of batteries the world can live in a renewable future. We are committed to supporting the move away from fossil fuels by optimising the way people generate, distribute and consume renewable energy. Our focus is always on value for the end user, and we believe a sustainable future is one that brings benefits to all involved.

Simon Daniel and Chris Wright founded Moixa in 2006 and have been developing intelligent battery products since day one. First was the USBCell: a convenient and popular USB-rechargeable AA that won numerous awards. We have always focused on making energy more intelligent and efficient for homes.

Today Moixa has 45 employees and counting, with offices in London and Manchester. We are an open, welcoming and collaborative company that lives by our values:

Innovation

We are not afraid to challenge the status quo and we are committed to creating innovative product design and business models.
Collaboration

We foster a culture of collaboration, within Moixa and the energy industry, that enables us to lead the development of renewable energy management.
Integrity

Integrity is at the core of our character. We expect our team and partners to always do the right thing and treat everyone with respect, humility and honesty.
Quality

Professionalism and quality are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to deliver the best experience to customers and partners.
Passion

A shared passion for our vision is what unites us. We empower our team to confront the challenges that lie between us and a future powered by renewables.
