At Soluna, we are on a mission to make renewable energy a global superpower using computing as a catalyst.

About us

My name: Derek Meer
My position: Software Engineer II
Company name: Soluna
Company website: https://www.solunacomputing.com/
Company headquarters (country): New York, USA
Company info and history:

We introduced Elixir to our control system for data collection. As we run into limits imposed by technologies chosen for other parts of the system, we will migrate those to Elixir. Elixir will be core to our strategy moving forward due to the great match between Elixir/the BEAM’s capabilities and the requirements of our facilities.

More details about our facilities can be found on our website. As you can see, we have a few active projects but several more in the pipeline. Each one has unique constraints, and we’re building systems to help manage all of them. Plenty of work to do!
