What Voxel Energy does
The best grid connection is no grid connection. Voxel builds vertically integrated energy generation and storage systems for data centers that bypass utility connection delays. By leveraging the vast supply of second-life EV batteries and our novel DC microgrid architecture, Voxel generates datacenter power on site and drastically reduces system cost and time-to-power.

Company
Voxel Energy
Energy independent data centers with solar and batteries
We build integrated solar and second-life EV battery systems to power data centers on site, bypassing grid connection delays. Our DC microgrid architecture cuts costs and gets datacenters online faster by eliminating reliance on utilities.
We haven't publicly disclosed our base location. After YC, we will be based where it makes sense for our operations and growth, likely near data center hubs or energy innovation centers.
Location is flexible. We value being close to data center operators and renewable energy resources while maintaining access to YC's network in Silicon Valley.
