AI & GPU compute
Solar AI GPU compute is not Bitcoin mining
Different workloads need different hardware. Define useful output, measure wall power, and test recovery before scaling.

CONNECTED FIELD NOTES
GPU workloads
Workload definitions, energy measurement, and the place of GPU computing in a shared solar site.
AI jobs need their own operating plan.
GPU computing should be evaluated through the useful work it completes. These articles distinguish a scheduled local task from an always-available service and explain why neither is automatically Bitcoin mining. A shared site adds questions about the priority of other electrical loads and the operator’s attention. Start with a repeatable job, record the whole system’s consumption, and test interruption recovery. Keep technical capability separate from any assumption that customers or paid work will be available.
