Helioplant will leverage SolarEdge’s inverter and power optimization technology to power its cross-shaped bifacial solar system specially designed for snowy Alpine regions with high elevation. They anticipate ski resorts will be a big market for the solution which uses SolarEdge's technology to overcome shading issues caused by the cross-structure.

The first large-scale installation combining SolarEdge technology and Helioplant’s design is already under construction, and on completion the 6.3 MW system will power three ski resorts in Sölden, Austria.

SolarEdge and Helioplant foresee significant demand for their system from ski resorts located in snowy, mountainous areas where conventional PV installations are a challenge. Standard linear PV systems tend to lose productivity with extreme Alpine conditions, such as snow drifts caused by rapidly changing wind conditions. They are also often difficult, and therefore more expensive, to build in challenging terrain areas.

Helioplant’s cross design, which resembles a tree or a flagpole with four wings, features 15 or 16 bifacial modules depending on the slope. The cross-shaped structure creates air turbulence even at low wind speeds, which prevents snow build-up from accumulating and decreasing efficiency. Snow around the base of the tree-like structure reflects light to the underside of the modules to further boost energy yields in what is known as the albedo effect.

Helioplant piloted an installation with 12 bifacial tree-like structures at 2,850 m in Sölden underneath the Tiefenbach glacier in Austria’s Ötztal Valley in 2023. The PV system powered a ski-lift for an entire season, reducing reliance on grid electricity. It was powered by SolarEdge’s technology.

The 6.3 MW installation now under construction in Austria has around 800 of Helioplant’s structures set at an altitude of 2,850 m to 3,000 m. Completion is expected in the second half of this year, and the installation will cover around one third of the three ski resorts’ annual energy needs – approximately 28 GWh.

Patrick Janak, Head of C&I DACH at SolarEdge said that by combining Helioplant's bifacial structures with SolarEdge inverter and power optimizer technology, the two companies “are bringing superior economics to the table to unlock this largely untapped market.” He claimed that conventional PV systems would not work in this scenario.

“Bifacial PV systems are ideal for alpine regions because they can capture both direct sunlight and reflected light from snow, boosting overall energy yields. With our patented cross-shaped support structure, our solar panels stay snow-free providing maximum yields of clean solar energy to offset the high electricity demands of busy ski resorts. With around 6,000 ski resorts worldwide, there is enormous market potential,” said Florian Jamschek, Co-Founder of Helioplant.

Jamschek added that SolarEdge's technology made it possible to address the problem of shading on the panels which he said is exacerbated by the tree-like structure. “While our tree-like structure for bifacial PV addresses the challenges of solar in high-altitude alpine regions, it also is susceptible to more shading on the panels. The only solution to overcome this problem and maximize energy yields was to incorporate SolarEdge technology. This means we can deliver on our promise to supply reliable and stable clean energy that ski resorts can rely on to offset their high energy demands.”

Yield Energy has launched Yield Edge, a distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) for grid-ready flexibility from farms.

As AI and high‑performance computing (HPC) workloads strain traditional air‑cooled data centers, Sabey Data Centers is expanding its partnership with JetCool Technologies to make direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling a standard option across its U.S. portfolio. The move signals how multi‑tenant operators are shifting from experimental deployments to programmatic strategies for high‑density, energy‑efficient infrastructure.

Sabey, one of the largest privately held multi‑tenant data center providers in the United States, first teamed with JetCool in 2023 to test direct‑to‑chip cooling in production environments. Those early deployments reported 13.5% server power savings compared with air‑cooled alternatives, while supporting dense AI and HPC racks without heavy reliance on traditional mechanical systems.

The new phase of the collaboration is less about proving the technology and more about scale. Sabey and JetCool are now working to simplify how customers adopt liquid cooling by turning what had been bespoke engineering work into repeatable designs that can be deployed across multiple sites. The goal is to give enterprises and cloud platforms a predictable path to high‑density infrastructure that balances performance, efficiency and operational risk.

A core element of that approach is a set of modular cooling architectures developed with Dell Technologies for select PowerEdge GPU‑based servers. By closely integrating server hardware and direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling, the partners aim to deliver pre‑validated building blocks for AI and HPC clusters, rather than starting from scratch with each project. The design includes unified warranty coverage for both the servers and the cooling system, an assurance that Sabey says is key for customers wary of fragmented support models.

The expanded alliance sits inside Sabey’s broader liquid cooling partnership program, an initiative that aggregates multiple thermal management providers under one framework. Instead of backing a single technology, Sabey is positioning itself as a curator of proven, ready‑to‑integrate cooling options that map to varying density targets and sustainability goals. For IT and facilities teams under pressure to scale GPU‑rich deployments, that structure promises clearer design patterns and faster time to production.

Executives at both companies frame the partnership as a response to converging pressures: soaring compute demand, tightening efficiency requirements and growing scrutiny of data center energy use. Direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling has emerged as one of the more practical levers for improving thermal performance at the rack level, particularly in environments where power and floor space are limited but performance expectations are not.

For Sabey, formalizing JetCool’s technology as a standard, warranty‑backed option is part of a broader message to customers: liquid cooling is no longer a niche or one‑off feature, but an embedded part of the company’s roadmap for AI‑era infrastructure. Organizations evaluating their own cooling strategies can find the full announcement here.
