Solving the Wasted Energy Problem in Renewable Energy
Soluna Computing is on a mission to make renewable energy a dominant source of power by solving the problem of wasted energy in the industry. As more renewable energy is added to grids around the world, the mismatch between production and consumption leads to wasted energy. Soluna builds flexible data centers near renewable energy plants to absorb and convert that wasted energy into a global resource. These data centers prioritize computing tasks that require batch processing and are resilient to energy loss. By integrating with renewables, Soluna aims to deliver clean, low-cost energy locally and promote global sustainability.
