Ideal Power Inc reported a significant increase in its sales opportunity funnel from $200 million to over $300 million, driven by growing demand for its B-TRAN semiconductor technology in AI data centers and energy infrastructure modernization. The company highlighted the shift from traditional AC systems to 800-volt DC architectures in data centers, which boosts demand for solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs). AI-focused data centers are pushing rack-level power needs from 10-50 kW to potentially over 500 kW by 2027, directly benefiting Ideal Power's products. The company is also expanding in Asia and exploring new opportunities with solid-state transformers and intelligent SSCBs for hyperscalers, aiming for initial revenue and sales orders later this year.
