Getting Started

What is SolarNode?

SolarNode is building the next generation of computing infrastructure - one that operates in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and is powered entirely by solar energy. We're creating a distributed network of compute nodes that offers true autonomy, resilience, and sustainability.

Core Concepts

Orbital Computing

By deploying compute infrastructure in space, we eliminate terrestrial limitations like geography, natural disasters, and political boundaries. Our satellites operate at ~400km altitude with continuous solar power.

Distributed Architecture

No single points of failure. Each node is autonomous and communicates with others via mesh networking. Workloads are distributed intelligently across the constellation.

Zero-Trust Security

Hardware-root-of-trust with end-to-end encryption. Every component is verified, and all communications are authenticated and encrypted.

Key Features

• 24/7 Solar Power - Continuous energy from the sun
• Global Coverage - Access from anywhere on Earth
• Container Support - Run Docker-compatible workloads
• Kubernetes Orchestration - Familiar deployment model
• Edge Computing - Low-latency processing

Use Cases

SolarNode's orbital infrastructure is ideal for:

• Critical infrastructure requiring high availability
• Applications needing geographic independence
• Edge computing for IoT and remote sensors
• Disaster-resilient backup systems
• Carbon-neutral compute workloads
