🌞 Proposal: Akash Node Powered by 30 kW Solar Installation (Ukraine)

[mcBanCh]

Hello Akash community 👋

My name is Vadym Bilobrovets, and I operate a 30 kW solar installation in Humennyky, Zhytomyr region, Ukraine.

I’m interested in hosting an Akash node powered by renewable energy (solar + grid backup) with stable uptime and available bandwidth.

The idea is to create a small but verifiable “green node” setup that could serve as a model for future sustainable deployments.

I’d like to discuss potential hardware requirements, monitoring options, and ways to verify green nodes in Akash’s decentralized network.

Anyone interested in collaborating, providing technical input, or testing renewable-powered setups — please feel free to join the conversation!

Just to add a few more technical details:

– Location: Humennyky, Zhytomyr region, Ukraine 🇺🇦
– Power setup: 30 kW solar installation with hybrid inverter and grid backup
– Current active DePIN nodes: WeatherXM (weather data) and DIMO (vehicle telemetry)
– Internet: fiber connection, 24/7 uptime, local server with redundant router and backup link

The goal is to establish a renewable-powered Akash node that can provide computing or storage capacity while maintaining high availability and zero-carbon footprint.

I can also share real energy production data or set up a public dashboard to verify renewable output if helpful.

I see great potential in this idea to push the boundaries of what can be done with power generation for running an akash node.

Hey, thanks for sharing your idea. (You tagged the wrong Rodri lol)

So, I think that what you mean by "creating a green node" would actually be "creating a green/sustainable Akash provider"

Not really sure what type of collab or what you are thinking to achieve here. Maybe core team and other members of the community can give their opinion about this idea here soon and maybe you can tell us more about what you are thinking.

Anyone is free to create an Akash provider and offer their idle compute resources to the network.

You would definitely have an advantage, since you should be spending less on running your provider with your 30 kW solar installation and thus earn more AKT by leasing your idle compute resources to others.

You can find hardware requirements and how to become a provider here:

Hey Rodri 👋
Thanks for the feedback and the links! You’re right — our goal is to create a green Akash provider powered by a 30 kW solar station.
We’re now finalizing the node setup and will share the results soon.
