Sol Node

Reference AI node designs sized around your energy, not a datasheet

Every tier publishes idle draw, sustained load and thermal expectations first, because those are the numbers your solar, storage and supply planning actually depend on.

Three tiers

Pick the smallest node that does the job

Oversizing a node costs you twice: once in capital, and every hour after that in idle draw.

Compact

Node One

Small language models, document assistants, sensor analytics for a single site.

Idle draw
18–30 W
Sustained load
90–160 W
Storage pairing
2–5 kWh usable
  • Fanless or low-noise chassis for occupied spaces
  • 7B–8B class models at 4-bit quantisation
  • Single 230 V socket; no dedicated circuit required

Workstation

Node Three

Team-scale inference, embeddings, retrieval and edge vision pipelines.

Idle draw
70–120 W
Sustained load
320–620 W
Storage pairing
5–15 kWh usable
  • Discrete accelerator with measured burst headroom
  • 13B–32B class models, batched retrieval workloads
  • Ventilated plant room or dedicated equipment space

Rack

Node Six

Campus and multi-tenant workloads, scheduled training and batch pipelines.

Idle draw
180–320 W
Sustained load
0.9–2.4 kW
Storage pairing
15 kWh and above
  • Multi-accelerator rack with airflow assessment required
  • Dedicated circuit and professional installation
  • Sub-metering and per-workload energy accounting

What ships with a node

Documentation is part of the product

A node you cannot explain to an installer, an auditor or a finance team is not deployable.

  • Measured power profile at idle, burst and sustained load
  • Thermal, noise and siting guidance with ambient limits
  • Read-only telemetry integration for site generation data
  • Update, rollback and incident runbook
  • Monthly energy and compute reporting template

Sol Node covers compute hardware and software only. Photovoltaic, battery and electrical installation work must be carried out by appropriately qualified and certified professionals under local regulations.
