FERROAMP ELEKTRONIK AB

Their core work

Ferroamp is a Swedish technology SME that designs and manufactures modular power electronic inverters built around a local DC nanogrid architecture, enabling optimized integration of solar panels, battery storage, and smart grid connections in buildings. Their core product, FerroHub, acts as an energy hub that manages DC power flows between renewable sources, storage, and the AC grid within a single building or district. They bring this hardware expertise into larger EU demonstration projects focused on energy-positive buildings and district-scale decarbonisation, where their inverter technology serves as a key enabling component for renewable energy self-consumption and grid flexibility.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Ferroamp's H2020 journey shows a clear scale-up trajectory. In 2015-2016, they focused entirely on their core hardware product — the FerroHub DC nanogrid inverter — progressing through both phases of the SME Instrument to bring it from concept to market. From 2017 onward, they pivoted to deploying this technology as a component within larger building- and district-scale energy projects (EnergyMatching, RESPONSE), shifting from product development to system integration in real urban environments.

Ferroamp is moving from single-building power electronics toward city-district energy management, making them increasingly relevant for smart city and positive energy district consortia.

How they like to work

Ferroamp started as a self-driven innovator, coordinating both SME Instrument phases independently, then transitioned to joining large Innovation Action consortia as a specialist technology partner. With 76 unique partners across 14 countries from just 4 projects, their recent work involves large multi-partner demonstrations where they contribute specific hardware and power management expertise rather than leading the overall effort. This makes them a reliable, focused technology contributor who brings a ready product rather than research ambitions.

Despite only 4 projects, Ferroamp has built a broad network of 76 partners across 14 countries, driven by participation in large Innovation Action consortia like RESPONSE. Their network is pan-European with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Swedish home base.

What sets them apart

Ferroamp occupies a specific niche: they are one of few European SMEs offering a commercial DC nanogrid platform that sits between solar panels, batteries, and the grid inside buildings. Unlike research institutes that model energy systems or large companies that supply generic inverters, Ferroamp provides a purpose-built, modular energy hub tested and validated through EU demonstration projects. For consortium builders, they offer a mature hardware component with real deployment experience — not a prototype or a simulation.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FerroHub
  Their flagship SME-2 project (€1.38M) that funded full development and commercialization of their DC nanogrid inverter — the largest single investment in their core technology.
• RESPONSE
  Large-scale positive energy districts project running until 2026, demonstrating Ferroamp's technology in real city environments for decarbonisation and grid flexibility.
• EnergyMatching
  First project where Ferroamp joined a consortium as a partner rather than leading, marking their transition from product developer to system integration contributor.
