As the world races toward an AI-powered future, one factor stands out as critical–energy. Artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems are pushing the boundaries of technology, but they are also driving unprecedented demand for power. Companies like SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) are rising to meet this challenge, leveraging cutting-edge solar and energy storage solutions to ensure that the power needs of these emerging technologies are met sustainably and efficiently.

AI and Autonomous Systems: Powering the Future

The growth of AI has been exponential, with AI adoption in industries like healthcare, finance, and transportation surging.

The integration of solar power with advanced storage solutions creates a decentralized power supply that can support autonomous systems regardless of their location.

The AI & Autonomous Revolution: A $7 Trillion Market by 2030

The future of AI and autonomous technologies is bright, and so are the opportunities for clean energy companies like SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) to power this revolution. By 2030, the combined market value of AI and autonomous technologies is expected to surpass $7 trillion, spanning sectors from transportation to healthcare to logistics.

SolarBank’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) recent $36 million partnership with Fiera Real Estate, a $7.0 billion USD commercial real estate company, exemplifies the growing demand for clean, sustainable energy infrastructure that supports the energy needs of autonomous technologies. This partnership focuses on energy storage solutions designed for commercial buildings, which are increasingly integrating AI-driven automation for energy management, security, and operations.

The Role of Storage in the Future of Energy

One of the key challenges of renewable energy is intermittency–solar power is only generated when the sun is shining. This makes energy storage a critical part of the equation. SolarBank’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) leadership in energy storage positions it as a company that can provide not only renewable energy but also the technology required to store and dispatch this energy efficiently.

The global energy storage market is expected to reach $620 billion by 2040. SolarBank’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) focus on large-scale solar and battery storage solutions ensures it is at the forefront of this fast-growing industry. By offering integrated solutions that combine energy generation with storage, SolarBank is playing a crucial role in ensuring the energy needs of AI and autonomous systems are met sustainably.

These days, one often talks about the kind of revolution that artificial intelligence or AI has brought in the world. Almost every day, a new application of AI is being discovered in some part of the world. When it comes to understanding, applying, and innovating AI, India has been at the forefront. Several technology-based companies in the country have played an important role in the advancement of AI technology. Galaxy Neuron, a Bengaluru-based tech company, has now come up with Celeste, a revolutionary self-learning AI app that can learn anything.

Elaborating on how this app came into being, Deepak Honakeri, founder of Galaxy Neuron says, “As a company, Galaxy Neuron has been consistently carrying out extensive research on artificial intelligence and working towards finding new and innovative ways to harness its capabilities to bring about an improvement in the lives of people based in all parts of the world. The thought that led to the creation of Celeste was putting together an AI app that would have a mind as curious as human beings and could learn anything you teach it. Apart from processing information well, it does an excellent job of retaining it.”

Celeste has several features that make it a very interesting AI app. One of the biggest benefits of using Celeste is that it works in offline mode and you do not need an active internet connection to run it. Owing to its self-learning feature, the app gets to know about and updates itself to fresh information and the latest trends quickly. The app comes with robust security features which ensure that no data ever gets leaked.

“Celeste is a result of months of hard work and dedicated efforts put in by the team. When you start using this app, you realize it offers several features which no other AI-based learning app has brought to the fore till now. Apart from ensuring that it performs optimally as a learning app, we have also made an effort to ensure that it exhibits a certain degree of versatility and flexibility. One can make this app learn through any kind of PDF data and then, get it to solve problems by asking the right questions. It runs comfortably on all consumer-grade devices including personal computers, gaming laptops, and workstations”, says Honakeri.

Though it has been just a while since Celeste has been launched, the app has already received a very positive response from the users. One can download the app right away conveniently. While the robustness of the app has been appreciated by many, its user-friendly interface, too, has been greatly spoken of. Users can ask any kind of question through the app. They have the option of customizing it as per their domain or field. By launching Celeste, Galaxy Neuron has brought in a positive disruption in the AI learning space which would lead to further innovations in the future.
