Cod3V8 · Data-centre module · Coming soonCompute you own, powered by the sun.
Capsul3 turns solar-powered, battery-backed, software-managed data centres into a product line for homes, farms and private landowners. A turnkey container or a custom build — energy, hardware and monitoring in one relationship.
Compute is moving out of the hubs — and onto private land.
Amsterdam and other EU data-centre hubs are running short on space and power, and electricity prices keep climbing. At the same time, technical owners increasingly want energy and data sovereignty: compute that physically cannot go dark and stays on their own premises.
Hubs are full
Space and grid capacity in the big data-centre hubs are tight, pushing new workloads toward the edge and toward self-hosting.
Energy independence
Solar generation and battery storage cut exposure to rising grid prices — and can earn from export and arbitrage when prices are high.
Sovereignty & resilience
Your data and your compute stay on your own land, on power that simply cannot be switched off from somewhere else.
An app for a million users — run from a barn.
Just outside Amsterdam, a software company runs an application serving more than 1.1 million users worldwide from a converted barn next to the house — powered by 540 kWh of battery storage and 150 solar panels, and able to run off-grid for roughly ten months of the year.
Capsul3 productises that exact pattern into a repeatable, sellable product line: the same energy independence, the same resilience, packaged so you don't have to invent it yourself.
- The power simply cannot go off — solar first, battery-backed, grid optional.
- One vertically integrated relationship: hardware, energy, software and operations.
- Every unit is monitored and forecast by Cod3V8 software from day one.
Two formats. A tier for every site.
A turnkey containerised unit shipped ready to run, or a custom building install sized to your land. Three standard tiers plus a fully parametric custom build — each one differentiated by Cod3V8 forecasting and monitoring software.

Watch a unit build itself.
Switch between tiers and press Build to assemble a unit component by component — container shell, inverters, battery wall, solar array, cabling with joints, sensors and cooling. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, hover any part for detail.
What's inside every unit.
A standardised, Victron-based platform — the same proven building blocks in every tier, so each unit is a managed, self-optimising asset rather than a pile of hardware.
Power conversion
Quattro / MultiPlus-II inverters with per-phase redundancy so a single failure never takes the load down.
Battery storage
LiFePO4 modules from 45 to 540 kWh, sized to keep you running through the night and cloudy spells.
Solar generation
450 Wp panels with SmartSolar MPPT controllers — the primary energy source, grid optional.
Cabling & containment
DC, AC, earth and data on proper tray and trunking, with joints and fusing engineered in.
Environmental sensors
Temperature and humidity probes feeding a monitoring gateway — the eyes and ears of the unit.
Cooling & A/C
Precision cooling plus split A/C, with server heat reused where it makes sense.
Hardware, energy, software and operations — under one roof.
Not a box of parts, and not a slow bespoke engineering project. A productised tier ladder with proprietary software baked in.
Energy independence
Solar-first and battery-backed, so most of the year your compute runs on power you generate yourself.
Software-managed
Cod3V8 forecasting and monitoring turns the unit into a self-optimising asset and keeps you in control remotely.
Energy upside
Sell stored or surplus solar back to the grid when prices are high — the unit can earn while it works.
Productised, not bespoke
A standard tier ladder and live build model instead of slow one-off engineering — quote and deliver faster.
One relationship
Hardware, energy, software and operations from a single team — few can combine all four.
Service built in
An ongoing monitoring and support layer from the first day, so the unit stays healthy and optimised.
From plan to first install.
Capsul3 is in productisation now. Here's the path to the first units in the ground — and where you can get involved.
Design & costing model
A fully parametric, formula-driven build model across value, standard and premium grades — live in the interactive builder above.
Tier S reference unit
Fully engineer the Edge Pod as the first repeatable reference unit, validated against live supplier quotes.
Lighthouse installs
Land one or two first sites from the CommuCod3 network and document them as real, working case studies.
Cod3V8 service layer
Contract the monitoring and support layer from the first sale, with clearly defined service levels.
Open ordering
Certified installer partnership in place and the full tier ladder available to order. Register your interest to be first in line.
Want compute that never sleeps?
Register your interest in Capsul3 — whether you're a self-hoster, a landowner, or want to be one of the first lighthouse sites. We'll keep you posted as the reference unit comes together.
Pricing and availability will be announced at launch.
