# Lektra > Lektra transforms distributed solar energy into decentralized AI computing power, enabling sustainable, low-cost GPU rentals at the edge. Formerly Ava Energy, the company leverages patented technology to connect renewable energy with high-performance compute. ## Overview Lektra operates a distributed cloud infrastructure powered by solar energy from homes and businesses. By converting excess renewable energy into AI compute, Lektra reduces costs, carbon footprint, and grid strain while sharing profits with energy producers. ## Key Features - Solar-powered edge computing nodes - 30% cheaper GPU rentals (H200, L40S) compared to traditional clouds - Patented Energy Operating System (EOS) for distributed compute - Built-in resilience: runs during blackouts with battery + grid fallback - Open, transparent pricing — no hidden fees or vendor lock-in - Lumis™ smart energy management for residential and commercial use ## Usage Lektra Cloud is designed for AI developers, researchers, and startups needing affordable, sustainable GPU power. Users can rent GPUs by the second, with no long-term commitments. Residential and commercial solar owners can join the network to monetize excess energy by powering AI workloads. ## Contact - Email: contact@lektra.com - Website: [https://lektra.com/contact/](https://lektra.com/contact/) - LinkedIn: [linkedin.com/company/lektra](https://linkedin.com/company/lektra) ## Documentation - [Lektra HomeEdge™ for Residential Solar](https://lektra.com/solar/residential/) - [Business Solar Integration](https://lektra.com/solar/business/) - [GPU Rental Discounts (30% Off)](https://lektra.com/cloud-discount/) - [About Lektra & Technology](https://lektra.com/about/) - [Press & News](https://lektra.com/news/) - [Partners Program](https://lektra.com/partners/) - [Patent: Distributed Compute from Renewable Energy](https://lektra.com/news/lektra-third-patent-distributed-compute/)
