Powering AI at Scale: How Solaris is Delivering High-Performance Power Infrastructure for the Next Generation of Data Centers

As AI continues its rapid ascent, the backbone supporting this revolution—data center power infrastructure—is being pushed to new extremes. Training advanced models and operating high-density GPU clusters require the highest standard of electrical reliability, capacity, and adaptability. Traditional systems weren’t built for this era.

At Solaris, this is where we thrive.

Recently, we engineered a custom 4000-amp switchgear package for a hyperscaler expanding its high-density compute environment. While the project was technically complex, its lesson was simple: AI at scale demands power systems that are purpose-built, fast to deploy, and battle-tested for continuous, high-power performance.

Below are key insights from this deployment, and how Solaris is helping AI and data center operators manage load variability and energize their growth.

The New Power Challenge: AI Loads Are Unlike Anything Before

AI-driven facilities are redefining what “high power” really means.

Individual training clusters are being planned on a multi-GW scale per deployment.
Newest technology is placing up to 1 MW / rack, compared to the 10–20 kW typical of legacy environments.
U.S. data center power demand is projected to more than double by 2035—and AI is the main driver.

For our customer, this meant building an electrical system capable of delivering 4000A at 480V, with zero tolerance for downtime and the flexibility to scale GPU clusters for years to come.

This is where Solaris’ proven engineering and power availability makes all the difference.

Solaris’ Solution: A Custom, High-Performance 4000A Switchgear Platform

To support this AI facility’s next phase of growth, Solaris delivered a custom-designed switchgear package engineered for the following:

High Capacity & High Reliability

4000A continuous rating
65–100kA AIC fault protection
Copper bus systems designed for sustained, high-power draw
Advanced LSIG protection with arc-flash mitigation

Intelligent Power Management

Real-time diagnostics
IoT-enabled predictive maintenance
SCADA + BMS integration
Multi-function relays and advanced metering

This gives operators the visibility needed to keep high-density GPU clusters online and optimized.

Built for Future Scaling

Solaris’ modular design allowed the customer to scale to 400MW+ and expand seamlessly as new compute nodes come online.
