Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about earning $500/month by hosting a Quanta Pod GPU on your property

Program Overview

What is the Quanta Pod GPU Hosting Program?

Quanta Pod offers homeowners the opportunity to earn $500 per month by hosting a compact GPU computing pod on their property. We deliver, install, and manage the entire system while you receive guaranteed monthly payments. The pod generates revenue by providing computing power to businesses, researchers, and AI companies who need GPU processing.

How much can I earn?

You earn a guaranteed $500 per month for hosting our GPU pod on your property. This is passive income with no management required on your part - we handle everything from installation to maintenance to customer relationships.

What exactly is a GPU pod?

A GPU pod is a compact, weatherproof computing unit containing multiple high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs). These units are designed to run AI training, machine learning, 3D rendering, and other computationally intensive tasks. Our pods are specifically engineered for outdoor installation and residential use.

Is this legal and compliant?

Yes, our program operates within legal boundaries. However, we carefully evaluate each location for zoning compliance, HOA restrictions, and local regulations. We handle all necessary permits and ensure installations meet local codes.

Property Requirements

What are the basic space requirements?

You need a minimum of 8 ft × 8 ft of accessible outdoor space. This could be in your backyard, side yard, or even a large driveway. The area should be relatively level and accessible for our installation team.

Do I need to own the property?

Yes, property ownership is required for our standard program. If you're renting, you would need explicit written permission from your landlord and they would need to be involved in the agreement process. We recommend checking your lease agreement first.

What about HOA restrictions?

HOA restrictions can impact installation. We review your HOA covenants during the application process and work with you to ensure compliance. In many cases, we can design installations that meet HOA aesthetic requirements.

Are there zoning considerations?

Most residential areas allow our installations, but we verify zoning compliance before proceeding. Commercial or light industrial zoning is ideal, but many residential zones permit our low-impact installations.

Electrical & Power

What electrical service do I need?

You need a minimum of 100-amp electrical service, though 200-amp is preferred. Most homes built after 1980 have adequate electrical capacity. We'll assess your current setup during the site evaluation.

Who pays for electricity?

We cover 100% of the electricity costs for pod operations. This includes both the computing equipment and cooling systems. You won't see any increase in your electric bill from our operations.

How much power does a pod use?

Our standard pods consume approximately 15-25 kW of power, which includes the GPUs, cooling, and networking equipment. This is equivalent to running 3-5 central air conditioning units continuously.

Will this affect my home's electrical capacity?

We install dedicated electrical connections that don't impact your home's existing electrical capacity. Our installations include separate metering so pod electricity usage is completely isolated from your household consumption.

What if my electrical service isn't adequate?

If upgrades are needed, we'll work with you to determine the best solution. In some cases, we may cover electrical service upgrades as part of the installation, or we may recommend our smaller pod configurations that work with 100-amp service.

Costs & Earnings

What costs am I responsible for?

Zero costs. We handle all installation, equipment, maintenance, electricity, internet connectivity, and insurance. Your only "cost" is providing the space on your property.

How do you generate revenue to pay me?

We rent GPU computing power to businesses, AI companies, researchers, and content creators who need high-performance processing. Current market rates range from $2-4 per GPU per hour, generating substantial revenue that allows us to pay your monthly fee plus cover all operational costs.

Are payments guaranteed?

Yes, your $500 monthly payment is guaranteed regardless of utilization rates. This is true passive income - you get paid whether our pods are running at 100% capacity or sitting idle.

How do I receive payments?

Monthly payments are made via direct deposit, check, or digital payment platforms like PayPal or Venmo - whatever you prefer. Payments are made on the same date each month.

What about taxes?

Your monthly payments are taxable income. We'll provide appropriate tax documentation (1099 forms) at year-end. We recommend consulting with a tax professional about potential deductions related to the space usage.

Technical Details

What internet speed do I need?

We require a minimum of 1 Gbps symmetrical internet (equal upload and download speeds). We often install dedicated fiber connections and cover all internet connectivity costs.

How loud are the pods?

Our pods generate approximately 45-55 decibels at 10 feet - similar to a household air conditioning unit. We use advanced sound dampening and position equipment to minimize noise impact on neighbors.

What about cooling and heat?

Each pod includes integrated cooling systems designed to handle the heat output of the GPUs. The cooling is equivalent to running a large central air conditioning system. All cooling costs are covered by us.

How secure are the pods?

Pods include physical security (locking enclosures), network security (firewalls, encryption), and monitoring systems. We also carry comprehensive insurance covering theft, damage, and liability.

What type of GPUs are included?

We use enterprise-grade GPUs optimized for AI and computing workloads, such as NVIDIA H100, H200, or similar high-performance units. The exact configuration depends on current market demand and technology.

Installation Process

How long does installation take?

Complete installation typically takes 2-3 weeks from approval. This includes site preparation, electrical work, pod delivery, setup, and testing. We coordinate all aspects to minimize disruption.

What does the installation process involve?

Installation includes: site evaluation, electrical connection (if needed), internet connectivity setup, pod delivery and positioning, cooling system installation, and comprehensive testing. Our certified technicians handle everything.

Do I need to be present during installation?

We prefer someone to be available during key phases, but it's not required the entire time. We'll coordinate scheduling around your availability and provide advance notice of all installation activities.

What maintenance is required?

None from you. We handle all maintenance, monitoring, and technical support remotely and through scheduled service visits. You simply collect your monthly payment.

What happens if equipment fails?

We provide 24/7 monitoring and rapid response for any issues. Equipment failures are covered by warranty and insurance. We maintain spare equipment for quick replacements to minimize downtime.

How long is the commitment?

Our standard agreement is for 5 years with options for renewal. This ensures stable income for you and allows us to recoup our substantial installation investment.

Getting Started

How do I apply?

Start by filling out our interest form. We'll evaluate your property, verify requirements, and schedule a site visit if you qualify. The entire process from application to installation typically takes 4-6 weeks.

What happens after I submit my application?

We'll contact you within 24-48 hours to discuss your property and answer questions. If there's mutual interest, we'll schedule a site evaluation to assess electrical, space, and connectivity requirements.

Is there any commitment to apply?

No commitment whatsoever. Applying and the initial consultation are completely free. You're only committed once you sign the hosting agreement after we've completed the site evaluation and you're satisfied with all terms.
