Karl Andersen on Clean Power Hour: Running AI on Your Solar Power
Lektra CEO Karl Andersen joined Tim Montague on Clean Power Hour, episode 371: This Startup Pays You to Run AI on Your Solar Power.
Lektra places GPU servers alongside distributed energy such as solar and batteries, so homes, businesses and other energy sites become small data centers. Instead of exporting excess solar to the grid, an energy host uses that electricity to run AI workloads and earns revenue from the compute.
What they cover
- How energy hosts share in the revenue from the compute their power produces
- Why fast-growing AI demand is exposing the limits of today's grid
- Whether distributed energy, microgrids, batteries and edge computing can form a more decentralized Grid 2.0
