Off Grid Labs builds solar-powered AI nodes you own outright — your models, your data, your power. No cloud landlord, no metered bill, no grid to depend on.
The sun delivers more than 20,000 times the energy humanity uses, and capturing it is finally cheap. Daytime solar is the cheapest electricity most of the world has ever had.
Yet AI is sold the opposite of owned — metered by the token from someone else's data center, on a grid that ramps its dirtiest plants up and down to babysit the solar it can't control.
So flip the model: follow generation with demand, and put your AI on power you own. Own the sun, and you own your AI.
An off-grid AI node you own outright. It runs inference and training on cheap daytime sunlight and leans on storage through the dark — on your land, under your control, off anyone else's grid.
Accelerated compute you buy once and run forever. Capex you control — not a cloud bill that compounds every month you keep the lights on.
Inference, RAG, and fine-tuning stay on the box. Your models and your data never leave the node — and never touch a vendor's servers.
Off-grid solar runs the node straight through grid and internet outages. The flexible load that follows the sun — no utility, no diesel.
The most sovereign energy is the sunlight you own the moment it lands. Off-grid compute rides through cloudy days and outages alike — no cloud, no diesel, no landlord.
Set the workload, the site, and how long it has to run in the dark. We size the array, the battery, and the bill of materials for the node you'll own outright.
Every tier is yours outright. Open the configurator to size one to your workload and your sun.
One always-warm model plus a private RAG stack for a team — owned, not rented.
Several models, scheduled fine-tuning, and heavier agents — all on your hardware.
Site-wide capacity you own, engineered to your land and your sun.
We didn't model this on a whiteboard. We built it, hauled it onto a ridge in Wisconsin's Driftless region, and ran it through real winters and real outages. DRIFTLESS-01 is online right now — solar-powered, fiber-connected, and proving out the exact hardware we build for you to own.
We're assembling the people who'd rather help you own your AI than rent it back to you — engineers, installers, and operators who follow the sun instead of fighting it.
Notes from following the sun. Two dispatches up — read them, then leave your email for the next.
Per-seat fees and token meters quietly turn an AI pilot into a seven-figure line item. Here's how owning your AI flips OpEx to CapEx.
