Built by technology.
Powered by people.
A distributed computing network is more than machines and software. It brings together people who use computing, host infrastructure, contribute ideas and help shape what comes next.

A community with purpose
Different people.
One connected network.
SolarCompute connects computing resources with people who need them. Developers, researchers, students, technology enthusiasts, machine hosts and renewable-energy participants can each have a role in its development.
The network is operational, with supported workloads and applications undergoing continued testing and refinement. Broader community programmes and participation opportunities will develop as the platform grows.
Our aim is to make useful computing more accessible while creating practical ways for people to participate.
Ways to participate
Find your place
in the network.
Become a host
Learn how compatible machines and participating locations can contribute compute capacity to the network.
Explore hosting →Contribute hardware
Explore opportunities to support the infrastructure behind distributed computing.
Hardware participation →Collaborate and research
Support responsible experimentation, technical feedback and future research opportunities.
Research programme →What matters to us
Progress is a
shared effort.
Constructive participation
People should be able to ask questions, share ideas and offer feedback in a respectful environment.
Clear communication
We distinguish what is operating today from what remains in development, testing or planning.
Responsible innovation
Security, privacy, energy use and reliable infrastructure are part of building a network that can grow sustainably.
From pilot to participation
Operating today.
Growing deliberately.
SolarCompute has an operating distributed-compute foundation, including machines at a residential solar-powered site. Supported workloads are being tested and refined as the platform develops.
Expanding the community means improving the experience for users and hosts, evaluating compatible hardware and building participation pathways responsibly. Opportunities may vary by workload, machine capability and programme readiness.
