SolarCompute / Become a host

Your energy. Your site.
A place in the network.

SolarCompute connects suitable computing machines with a distributed network designed to work alongside rooftop solar, battery storage and available energy. Hosting starts with the right site, the right hardware and a clear operating arrangement.

An operating foundation

Built on real machines.
Designed to grow.

SolarCompute has an operating network foundation at a residential solar-powered site, with computing machines and energy monitoring already in use. Expanding to additional host locations is subject to technical assessment, onboarding and suitable commercial arrangements.

01 / ENERGY

Renewable-energy alignment

Assess local solar generation, battery availability and grid conditions as part of the site's overall energy profile.

02 / HARDWARE

Approved compute machines

Only machines and configurations approved for network workloads are eligible to participate.

03 / OPERATIONS

Coordinated workloads

The SolarCompute platform coordinates compatible machines, job allocation and operational monitoring.

Hosting pathways

Different sites.
A shared network.

Participation may take different forms depending on equipment ownership, site capabilities and the arrangement approved by SolarCompute.

PATHWAY 01

Managed infrastructure hosting

Approved sites may host SolarCompute-managed equipment under an agreed deployment and operating model. Availability and responsibilities are determined case by case.

PATHWAY 02

Approved host hardware

Owners of suitable computing hardware may explore joining the network, subject to hardware compatibility, software requirements, safety checks and participation terms.

How hosting works

From assessment
to participation.

01 / ASSESS

Review your site

We consider power, connectivity, physical space, cooling, safety and the proposed hosting model.

02 / APPROVE

Confirm compatibility

Equipment and operating arrangements must meet SolarCompute's applicable technical and onboarding requirements.

03 / CONNECT

Join the network

Once approved and configured, eligible machines can receive suitable workloads according to availability and platform demand.

What makes a suitable host

Start with the
right foundations.

Not every home, business or machine will be suitable. SolarCompute evaluates proposed participation against practical requirements and the network's current needs.

  • Reliable electricity and suitable energy arrangements
  • Stable internet connectivity
  • Appropriate ventilation, space and physical security
  • Compatible and approved compute hardware
  • Agreement on access, support and operating responsibilities

Commercial clarity

Participation with
clear expectations.

Any host compensation or revenue-sharing arrangement depends on the relevant agreement, actual workload demand, operating costs and other applicable conditions. SolarCompute does not guarantee earnings, machine utilisation or a particular return.

Renewable-powered operation does not, by itself, establish a verified carbon reduction or zero-emission outcome. Environmental performance requires appropriate measurement and accounting.
