Sunrun, the preeminent provider of residential photovoltaic and energy storage solutions in the United States, is forging ahead with a pilot initiative for a 'decentralized AI data center.' On Monday, Mary Powell, the CEO of the company, announced that participants in this program stand to gain potentially hundreds of dollars each month through the sale of computing power. At present, Sunrun boasts a user base exceeding 1 million across the U.S., all equipped with rooftop photovoltaic systems. In light of the soaring demand for computing power from the AI sector, photovoltaic firms have discerned a fresh avenue for business growth.
