Parasol DC-to-DC power architecture
DC-to-DC Architecture

Direct Power for AI Infrastructure.

Parasol Elite Power designs DC-coupled power systems that move energy from generation into battery storage and then directly from the battery to the load.

DC into the battery. DC out of the battery. Direct to the AI load.

Architecture

How the Architecture Works

01

Generate

Power is produced from one or more available energy sources — natural gas generation, biomass, pyrolysis and syngas, solar, or other behind-the-meter generation.

02

Store and Stabilize

Generated power is routed into Parasol's battery energy storage system. The battery serves as the central power buffer, stabilizing multiple generation sources, responding to rapid AI load changes, and providing immediate backup power.

03

Deliver at 800V DC

For compatible AI data center applications, power is delivered from the battery through an 800V-class DC bus and DC-to-DC conversion system to the computing infrastructure — reducing unnecessary conversion stages between generation, storage, and the AI racks.

Power Path

A Simpler Power Path

Conventional data center systems may repeatedly convert power between AC and DC before it reaches the servers. Parasol's DC-coupled architecture is designed to create a more direct path: Generation → Battery Storage → 800V DC Bus → AI Compute.

Transformers and grid-interface equipment can be added when a project elects to connect to the utility grid.

Reduces dependence on

Repeated AC-to-DC conversion
DC-to-AC conversion
Separate power conversion systems
Utility transformers within the core behind-the-meter architecture
Disconnected equipment from multiple suppliers
AI Infrastructure

Built for AI Load Behavior

GPU and AI computing loads can change rapidly and place significant stress on conventional power systems. The battery-first architecture provides a stable power layer between generation and computing equipment.

Helps manage

Rapid load transients
High-density compute demand
Generator ramp rates
Renewable variability
Power interruptions
Changes between multiple power sources

All-in-One, Containerized Design

Parasol's DC-coupled platform can combine storage, power conversion, controls, and energy management within an integrated containerized system. For projects up to approximately 20 MW, the power and AIDC infrastructure can remain largely containerized, subject to final engineering and site requirements.

Fewer separate components
Faster installation
Reduced site complexity
Smaller land requirements
Modular expansion
Simplified commissioning
One coordinated system architecture

Smaller Site Footprint

An integrated architecture can require fewer containers and less supporting infrastructure than a system assembled from separate, non-integrated components.

Up to 29% Less Land Footprint

For a representative 10 MW system: Parasol integrated design requires approximately 3 power containers vs. approximately 4 for a non-integrated design.

Final footprint depends on duration, battery chemistry, cooling, generation mix, safety spacing, local codes, and project specifications.

Controls

Managed by Parasol EMS

Parasol's energy management system coordinates the complete power platform as one unified system.

Generation
Battery state of charge
AI load demand
Backup reserve
Source switching
Power quality
Operating cost
Emissions objectives
Grid Strategy

Grid Independent. Grid Ready.

The core behind-the-meter architecture is designed to operate without making utility interconnection a prerequisite. A project can begin with on-site generation, battery storage, DC-to-DC power delivery, and independent energy management.

If grid service is added later, Parasol can provide

Transformers
Grid-interface equipment
Switchgear
Protection systems
Integration and commissioning
