Power that doesn’t wait for the grid.
Helios Data Energy designs off-grid solar and battery storage systems that run high-density compute entirely behind the meter. Your racks come online in months, not after a multi-year wait for a utility connection.
The grid is the bottleneck for AI infrastructure.
Utility interconnection queues now run three to seven years in many regions. New data centers that depend on the public grid also face local opposition and moratoriums over strained capacity and rising rates for households.
Helios takes the grid out of the critical path. Every system we design generates, stores and delivers its own power on site, so a project never competes with the community for capacity. It becomes a self-sufficient, clean-energy asset instead of a new load on local ratepayers.

DC distribution from generation to the rack
From empty parcel to live racks, designed as one system.
Our design platform models solar yield, storage sizing, 800 VDC distribution and thermal load together for each site, then turns the result into prefabricated skids that local crews can install.
-
1
Site study
Solar resource, thermal and power integration modeling, plus land and lease evaluation for your parcel.
-
2
System design
PV array, battery storage, controls and cooling sized together, with single-line diagrams for every tie-in.
-
3
Prefabricated skids
Standard power and thermal skids built off site, so field work is placement and hookup, not custom engineering.

4
Local install, online
Regional contractors and union trades set skids on pads and connect them. Your tenant goes live without a utility interconnect.
Why it’s faster
Months, not a multi-year wait.
No interconnection queue
The system generates, stores and delivers its own power. There is no utility study, upgrade or queue position in the critical path.
Designed as one system
Solar, storage, 800 VDC distribution and cooling are modeled together, so tie-ins are resolved on paper before anything ships.
Built off site, set on site
Standard skids arrive ready to place and connect. Field work is hookup by local crews, not months of custom engineering.
What we deliver
Start with a study, buy individual modules, or build on a site we’ve already prepared.
Feasibility and site studies
Preliminary thermal modeling, electrical single-line tie-ins and land evaluation for a specific site, delivered as a fixed-scope engagement.
Co-development engineering
We adapt our standard skids to your site conditions, interfaces or defense specifications.
Standalone modules
Liquid cooling loops, 800 VDC distribution modules and microgrid controllers, available ahead of a full system.
Design-in blueprint packages
Pre-engineered CAD and BIM drawings for civil, mechanical and electrical contractors to drop straight into site plans and RFPs.
Anchor sites on our campus
Reserve power allocation and land on our 125-acre Southern California campus, with adjacent ranch land for multi-gigawatt growth.
Agricultural land deployments
Islanded systems built on agricultural parcels, using easements and environmental studies already in place from earlier renewable projects.
Built to work with the people already building.
Explore the ecosystemServer OEMs and compute vendors
When a GPU deal stalls on facility power, a behind-the-meter power and cooling package keeps the hardware moving instead of waiting on the utility.
EPCs, general contractors and union trades
Our skids complement your scope rather than replace it. Local electrical, pipefitting and civil crews handle placement and tie-in with standard drawings.
Landowners and agri-energy developers
Put productive rural land to work with long-term behind-the-meter leases, building on relationships and rights you already hold.

Energy resilience for defense.
The same islanded microgrids that keep compute running also serve installations that can’t depend on the public grid. We are pursuing SBIR and OTA pathways for microgrid islanding, energy resilience and thermal signature reduction.
Our Southern California location gives us a natural testbed for defense work alongside commercial deployments.
