The Renter's Dilemma
Why you can't just run wires and why that's actually a blessing
No Drilling Allowed
Renters can't punch holes in walls for conduit. Can't mount panels on ceilings. Can't run wires through walls. But here's the secret: you don't need to.
Power Strips are Your Friend
Modern solar systems connect via standard outlets. No drilling, no walls, just portable power stations that plug into your existing setup.
Monitor Remotely
Use your phone to track battery levels, solar generation, and system health from anywhere in your apartment.
Fastest Path
The Portable Solution
Start here: plug-and-play kits with minimal setup and no permanent modifications.
Scale Path
The Custom Solution
Scale here: modular components for higher output, longer runtime, and full system control.

Solar power for AI servers, GPUs, and creative workloads
AI Training
Power your GPU clusters for local LLM training, fine-tuning, and inference workloads.
Typical Load: 300-800W
Runtime: 4-24 hours
Creative Work
Render videos, train diffusion models, and generate AI art without relying on cloud credits.
Typical Load: 150-500W
Runtime: 8-30 hours
E-Commerce
Run your storefront and warehouse management systems off-grid, even in basements.
Typical Load: 100-300W
Runtime: 12-40 hours
Why This Matters
You're not just saving money on electricity bills. You're reclaiming sovereignty over your computational infrastructure. No more waiting for cloud credits. No more paying premium rates during outages. Your own energy, your own rules.
