Compute
Racks, storage and networking sized for your AI workloads. Bring your equipment or include it in the agreed scope.
Infrastructure for your AI. One xPixel at a time
Each module is an xPixel: a containerised compute unit with integrated cooling, power distribution and control. We configure your project for today’s demand and plan how to add more xPixels as your needs grow.

Every module, an xPixel
An xPixel is the unit we use to build a modular data centre. Just as pixels form an image, xPixels form your infrastructure. Each has its own cooling, electrical distribution and control systems. The site provides power, data connectivity and maintenance.
Cooling
A dedicated liquid loop, thermal management and heat rejection. Each xPixel incorporates its own cooling system.
Power
Integrated power distribution and protection. Backup and continuity are defined around your operational requirements.
Control
Monitoring, alarms and maintenance access. A protected service interface for managing each unit.
Add an xPixel. Expand your capacity
Start with the xPixels your project needs and add more as demand grows. Each module is configured for its workload and connects independently to site services. Expansion requires planning for space, power, cooling and networking; each xPixel can be isolated for maintenance.
Three formats. One way to grow
Three xPixel formats to configure your starting point. Equipment and module count are defined around your workload, location and growth plans.

Energy is part of the design
One xPixel. Different ways to power it. The right choice depends on whether your workload must keep running or can adapt to the energy available.
For continuous operation
Solar and grid
Solar generation contributes when it is available. The grid covers the shortfall, with backup matched to the service. A starting point for applications that cannot wait for the sun.
Private AI · Cloud services · Real-time inferenceWith external storage
Through the night
A battery stores some generation for later use. It can be housed in a separate container from a specialist supplier: an energy addition, not another xPixel or equipment included as standard.
Autonomy specified in hours · Planned recharge and reserveFor work that can wait
Follow the sun
Schedule work when generation is sufficient and reduce or pause it when output falls. Suitable workloads may include rendering, batch processing and selected AI tasks that can save and resume progress.
No 24/7 service promise · Controlled stops and restartsWhat about cryptocurrency mining?
It can also be assessed as a flexible workload. Bitcoin typically uses specialist ASIC equipment, not the same GPU servers used for AI. It needs its own configuration and business assessment: sunshine does not guarantee profitability. Controls and safe shutdown still need power when computing stops.
Put the scale in perspective
How many solar panels does one xPixel need?
That depends on consumption, not just whether it is an S20, M40 or L45. Compare three example loads, including servers, cooling and auxiliaries. These are not model specifications.
400
600 W solar panels
to generate as much energy in a year as this xPixel would consume running 24 hours a day.
1,040
m² of panel surface
Solar modules only. The installation needs extra space for spacing, access and equipment. This is not the site area.
600
usable kWh for 12 hours
Energy the battery would need to deliver for an example night. This is not its nameplate capacity or a year-round autonomy guarantee.
Matching annual energy does not guarantee power every hour.
Solar generation stops at night and can fall short in winter or cloudy weather. These panel counts do not size an off-grid system: continuous operation needs shortfalls covered by grid supply, storage and/or backup.
Compare all three examples and see the calculations
| xPixel power draw | 50 kW | 150 kW | 300 kW |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy over 24 hours | 1,200 kWh | 3,600 kWh | 7,200 kWh |
| Panels · annual balance | 400 | 1,200 | 2,400 |
| Battery · 12 usable hours | 600 kWh | 1,800 kWh | 3,600 kWh |
Illustrative assumptions: 600 W panels with a 2.6 m² surface; annual-average net yield of 5 kWh per installed kWp per day (1,825 kWh/kWp per year). This is not a site simulation or 5 actual operating hours. Each panel would average around 3 kWh per day. Location, season, shading and orientation change the result; these are assessed with PVGIS and project data.
Panels = load in kW × 24 ÷ 3. Panel surface = panel count × 2.6. Usable night-time energy = load in kW × 12.
The battery must supply at least the scenario's power draw and handle transients. Its nameplate capacity will be higher to account for losses, reserve and ageing. The solar comparison excludes additional battery charging and discharging losses: extra generation and an hourly simulation of the full year are needed.

Europe: efficiency and renewables
The European framework requires energy, water and renewable indicators to be reported for data centres with at least 500 kW of installed IT power demand. It does not universally require solar co-location, containers or closed-loop cooling. Applicable permits and requirements are reviewed for each project.
Reviewed on 6 September 2026. Solar integration alone does not demonstrate regulatory compliance.Your energy. Your project
If you provide land and power, we assess the site against an identified compute requirement. If you need compute, we start with your workload and continuity needs. Contractual energy availability, demand access and connectivity are assessed before sizing the infrastructure for one or more xPixels and possible future expansion.
Buying renewable electricity, using surplus generation and running only when the sun shines are three different strategies.From the first conversation to operation
xPixel coordinates development and the commercial relationship. Manufacturing, integration and operations are scoped with specialists and agreed responsibilities.

Good to know
Can I book GPU hours with xPixel today?
We are currently developing xPixel modules and assessing projects. We do not offer a catalogue of GPUs ready for immediate use. If you need capacity, we can define the workload, site, equipment supply and operational scope before preparing a proposal.
Does a closed loop mean no water consumption?
Not necessarily. Both the server cooling loop and the heat rejection system must be assessed, including filling and maintenance. Cooling is specified for the project climate and workload; we do not publish water consumption figures without validating the complete configuration.
What does an xPixel include?
It is a modular data centre unit designed to integrate compute, dedicated cooling, power distribution, networking and control. Each proposal specifies the IT equipment, protection, backup and services included. You can bring your servers or discuss supplying them as part of the project.
Does it need another container for cooling?
The base architecture incorporates thermal management and heat rejection into the xPixel itself. Each xPixel is sized for its workload and the site's climate. Self-contained means independent of the other units: it still needs power, a data connection and maintenance.
Can it operate alongside a solar plant?
Yes. Options include continuous operation with solar, grid and backup, external storage for hours without sun, or flexible operation that adapts work to generation. The choice depends on the service, permits and site. Generating as much energy as you consume over a year does not guarantee supply every hour.
How many panels and what battery would I need?
That depends on the unit's total consumption and the site, not just its container format. The energy comparison shows illustrative loads of 50, 150 and 300 kW with explicit assumptions, not model specifications. A night-time battery is an external system: it is sized for usable energy, power, autonomy hours, losses and reserve, together with the generation needed to recharge it.
How does the installation scale?
By adding xPixels as demand grows and site capacity allows. Each unit keeps its own cooling and control systems. Site power distribution and networking are planned for the expected growth, with provision to isolate individual units.
Which NVIDIA servers and AI workloads can it support?
The platform is selected for the workload: inference, fine-tuning, scientific computing or GPU cloud services. We validate dimensions, power, cooling and networking against the specific equipment. Compatibility and performance are confirmed for the agreed platform and configuration.
How do I get a proposal, and what is the lead time?
Start by sharing your objective, location and workload. We use that information to define the assessment and proposal scope. Cost and schedule depend on equipment, continuity requirements, logistics and site conditions.
