The 1AP team led by energy innovator and physicist Dr. Tom Buttgenbach, will be at Infocast Events Solar + Wind Finance & Investment 2026. The 1st Avenue Power team has delivered more than 30 GW of solar and 90+ GWh of storage, helping redefine what large-scale solar power can achieve. Our software-defined power systems have 2x the energy per acre, 99.9% reliability, engineered from the ground up for speed, security, and scale. By optimizing performance at the system level — not the component level — these architectures deliver higher energy density, faster deployment, and firm, dispatchable clean power. If you're attending Solar + Wind Finance & Investment 2026 March 15-18 and are committed to scaling resilient, high-performance power for the AI era — let’s talk. We’re looking for team members and partners ready to shape power system architecture. See you there. Reach out to us at infocast@1ap.com
1st Avenue Power
Renewable Energy Power Generation
Next generation power plant technology: clean, Hyperfirm, high-capacity power for a rapidly electrifying world.
About us
1AP is building the next generation power plant technology: turnkey, optimized power systems delivering clean, Hyperfirm, high-capacity power for demanding customer loads in a rapidly electrifying world. As AI-driven data center growth and industrial electrification accelerate global demand, the grid cannot keep pace, nor can traditional solar projects, which are assembled from disparate components and performance that is defined by warranty stacks rather than system design. 1AP was founded by energy systems innovator and physicist Dr. Tom Buttgenbach with a team that has developed 30 GW of solar and 90 GWh of storage, producing fully integrated, software-defined power systems optimized at the system level, not the component level. The result is a category-defining company: power that is more reliable, more predictable, and more cost-effective, built to match the real needs of demanding customer loads, generating 2x the energy per acre, 99.9% reliability at a lower-cost and faster speed to power, engineered from the ground up for reliability, security, and scale. We serve data centers, utilities, industrial operators, and corporations that require resilient, high-capacity firm power.
