Energy architecture
Connect the BAYWAW AI Container to the grid, pair it with solar and battery storage, or run it as an off-grid data center on its own microgrid. Two power modules, N+2 redundancy and failover in under 10 ms keep the 1.2 MW load running.
01Power architecture
Energy moves through four stages before it reaches the 624 NVIDIA B300 GPUs. Each stage has one job, which keeps the system simple to size, monitor and maintain.
Photovoltaic arrays generate power through the day. The array is sized to the site’s irradiance and to the share of the load you want solar to cover.
The BESS stores surplus daytime production, smooths the variability of solar output and carries the load when the sun is down.
Power Module 1 runs active at 100% capacity while Power Module 2 waits on standby, ready to take over in under 10 ms.
The IT workload: 624 NVIDIA B300 GPUs and their network, cooled by single-phase immersion. The whole container draws 1.2 MW of facility power at a PUE of 1.05.
02Redundancy
The power train is designed to N+2, with redundant capacity beyond what the load requires. Power Module 1 carries the AI Container at 100% capacity; Power Module 2 stays on standby and takes over in under 10 ms if the active path fails.
Failover happens automatically at the power layer, with no operator in the loop. Every event is then picked up by our 24/7 monitoring, with real-time alerting and engineers who handle diagnosis and component replacement.

03Deployment options
The AI Container is energy-agnostic. The same container runs on any of three power designs, chosen for your site’s grid access, irradiance, available land and availability target.
Option A
The utility grid feeds the power modules directly. It is the simplest path when the site already has a connection that can carry the 1.2 MW load continuously.
Option B
A solar farm and battery storage cover a share of the load and reduce grid consumption, while the grid remains available as a backup. A practical route to a renewable energy data center without giving up grid security.
Option C
A self-contained microgrid for sites where the grid is absent, weak or years away. Solar generation and battery storage are sized to the site’s irradiance and to your availability target, typically with a backup source.
Sizing starts with the load
Running around the clock, the AI Container consumes roughly 10.5 GWh of energy per year. That figure, together with your site’s irradiance, its seasonal profile and the availability you need, sets the size of the solar farm and the battery system. Every design is sized per site, never taken from a catalog.
1.2MW×8,760h≈10.5GWh
04Energy efficiency
Power usage effectiveness (PUE) divides the total energy a facility draws by the energy that reaches its IT equipment. At 1.05, almost all the power the AI Container draws goes to GPUs, servers and network, and very little to cooling or conversion overhead.
Facility power for each unit of IT power
With minimal overhead, solar generation and battery storage are sized almost entirely for the computing load rather than for cooling.
Single-phase immersion carries heat away in a dielectric liquid and rejects it through roof-mounted coolers, avoiding the energy cost of conventional room-level air cooling.
A 1.2 MW facility load and about 10.5 GWh a year give finance, energy and sustainability teams a clear planning figure from day one.
05From solar to silicon
BAYWAW started in Dubai as a B2B solar supplier, delivering solar systems for infrastructure projects and supplying new and certified second-hand panels in bulk to developers worldwide.
That experience now goes into the AI Container. Reading irradiance data, sizing arrays and sourcing panels at volume are the disciplines a solar-powered data center depends on, and every power design we prepare draws on them.
Solar panel trading continues alongside BAYWAW Data Center, so the panels for your solar farm can come from the same team.
06FAQ
Yes, it can be designed to. With a solar farm and battery storage sized for the site’s irradiance and the container’s continuous 1.2 MW load, the AI Container can run on renewable energy. Because solar output varies with weather and seasons, these designs typically keep a backup source, such as a grid connection or on-site generation, to meet the availability target.
Power Module 1 carries the load at 100% capacity while Power Module 2 stays on standby. If the active path fails, the standby module takes over in under 10 ms, and the power train is designed to N+2 redundancy. The event is picked up by our 24/7 monitoring with real-time alerting, and our engineers handle diagnosis and replacement.
In a grid-connected design, the site needs a connection that can supply the 1.2 MW facility load continuously. Voltage, interconnection and protection requirements depend on the local utility and are defined with you during the site assessment. Hybrid and off-grid designs reduce or remove the dependence on the grid.
BAYWAW does. Our engineers size generation and storage from your site’s irradiance data, available land, grid situation and availability target, then integrate the result with the power modules. The sizing is presented with our proposal.
Often, yes. An existing solar farm or battery system can be assessed and integrated into a hybrid design, with new capacity added where needed. Compatibility depends on the equipment’s condition, capacity and interfaces, which we review during the site assessment.
