The challenge
Compute demand is accelerating.
AI and computational workloads require growing amounts of power and infrastructure. Conventional data centres take significant time, capital and grid capacity to build.
Australia’s renewable-powered compute network
The distributed
data centre
starts at home.
SolarCompute connects renewable-powered computers in homes across Australia, creating a distributed network for people and businesses that need computing capacity.

The vision
Australia’s next compute network could already be on our rooftops.
01
Homes across Australia already generate and store renewable energy. SolarCompute is developing the software and network needed to connect computing hardware at those locations into useful shared infrastructure.
The opportunity
Renewable capacity is already distributed.
Solar generation, battery storage and capable computing hardware are already located throughout Australian communities—close to where energy is produced.
The SolarCompute system
Bring the workload
to renewable energy.
Rooftop solar produces renewable energy at home.
A household battery keeps that energy available.
A home PC or dedicated machine processes approved work.
SolarCompute coordinates independent machines as one network.
One home provides capacity. Thousands of homes create infrastructure.
Two sides. One network.
Computing power for those who need it.
Value for those who provide it.
