ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the selling stockholders named in this prospectus or any supplement to this prospectus may, from time to time, offer and sell the Class A common stock described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus generally describes Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. and the Class A common stock that the selling stockholders may offer. Each time securities are offered by means of this prospectus, the selling stockholders are required to provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. We may also add or update in the prospectus supplement (and in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) any of the information contained in this prospectus or in the documents that have been incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Please read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein by reference as described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before buying any of the securities being offered.

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we have filed with the SEC.

These reports contain important information about us, our financial condition and our results of operations.

We make available free of charge on or through our website, solaris-energy.com, our filings with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were 38,012,427 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding, 29,106,749 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding.

The following description of capital stock is based upon our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, and applicable provisions of law. We have summarized certain portions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws below. The summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the provisions of applicable law and to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Class A Common Stock

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Dividend Rights. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to ratably receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or other winding up, the holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets available for distribution to the stockholders after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Other Matters. The shares of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment by us. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. All outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, including the Class A common stock offered in this offering, are fully paid and non-assessable.

Class B Common Stock

Generally. Each member of Solaris Energy Infrastructure, LLC (“Solaris LLC”) has received one share of Class B common stock for each unit of Solaris LLC (the “Solaris LLC Unit”) that it holds. Accordingly, each member of Solaris LLC has a number of votes in the Company equal to the aggregate number of Solaris LLC Units that it holds.

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B common stock so as to affect them adversely, which amendments must be adopted by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

4

Dividend and Liquidation Rights. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends, unless the dividend consists of shares of our Class B common stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or redeemable for shares of Class B common stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of our Class B common stock, and a dividend consisting of shares of Class A common stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or redeemable for shares of Class A common stock on the same terms is simultaneously paid to the holders of Class A common stock. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive a distribution upon the Company’s liquidation or winding up.

Redemption Right. Each Member of Solaris LLC has received one share of Class B common stock for Solaris LLC Unit that it holds. Accordingly, each member of Solaris LLC has a number of votes in the Company equal to the aggregate number of Solaris LLC Units that it holds. Pursuant to the second amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Solaris LLC, as amended from time to time (the “Solaris LLC Agreement”), each holder of Solaris LLC Units has the right to redeem his or her Solaris LLC Units, together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, for shares of Class A common stock (or cash at the Company’s election, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications).

Preferred Stock

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, covering up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware Law

Certain provisions of Delaware law and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws described below could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we are not governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which, in the absence of such provisions, would have

5

imposed additional requirements regarding mergers and other business combinations. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws

Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:

6

Corporate Opportunity

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to the extent permitted by law:

Forum Selection

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, this forum selection provision. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing

7

increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, employees and agents. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could rule that this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable.

The choice of forum provisions summarized above are not intended to, and would not, apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Stockholders may be subject to increased costs to bring these claims, and the choice of forum provisions could have the effect of discouraging claims or limiting investors’ ability to bring claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to purchase insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of that person’s actions as our officer, director, employee or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers and intend to enter into indemnification agreement with any future directors and officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision that is in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the indemnification agreements will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A common stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC.

Listing

Our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “SEI.”

9

REDEMPTION OF SOLARIS LLC UNITS AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK

Solaris LLC’s limited liability company agreement provides for a single class of units we refer to as “Solaris LLC Units.” Each holder of Solaris LLC Units (a “Solaris LLC Unit Holder”) has received one share of our Class B common stock for each Solaris LLC Unit held by such Solaris LLC Unit Holder. Pursuant to the Solaris LLC Agreement, each Solaris LLC Unit Holder has the right to redeem his or her Solaris LLC Units, together with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock, for shares of our Class A Common Stock (or cash at our election, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications). As holders exchange their Solaris LLC Units and Class B common stock for Class A common stock, our relative interest in Solaris LLC will increase.

The selling stockholders will each generally bear his or her own expenses in connection with a redemption, except that, subject to a limited exception, we are required to pay any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties or other similar taxes in connection with such a redemption.

10

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The selling stockholders named below may offer to sell from time to time in the future up to an aggregate of 16,229,566 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”) under this prospectus, including 16,229,566 shares of Class B common stock redeemable, together with an equal number of Solaris LLC Units, on a one for one basis for shares of our Class A common stock.

The term “selling stockholders” includes the stockholders listed in the table below and their permitted transferees and assignees or other successors.

Except as described in the footnotes to the following table and under the subsection below entitled “—Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders,” none of the persons named in the table set forth below has held any position or office with, been employed by, or otherwise has had a material relationship with us or any of our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information as of the date of this prospectus by each selling stockholder regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock and (ii) the number of shares of our Class A common stock that may from time to time be offered or sold pursuant to this prospectus, assuming each selling stockholder has redeemed all Solaris LLC Units, together with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock, beneficially owned by him or her for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock. The information regarding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares of our Class A common stock offered by the selling stockholders (including shares of Class B common stock redeemable, together with an equal number of Solaris LLC Units, on a one for one basis for shares of our Class A common stock) and that the selling stockholders do not acquire any additional shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock.

No offer or sale under this prospectus may be made by a stockholder unless that holder is listed in the table below, in a supplement to this prospectus or in an amendment to the related registration statement that has become effective. We may supplement or amend this prospectus to include additional selling stockholders.

The following table sets forth information relating to the selling stockholders as of the date of this prospectus, based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders on or prior to that date and information filed with the SEC. We have not sought to verify such information. The selling stockholders may hold or acquire at any time shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock in addition to the shares offered by this prospectus and may have acquired additional shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock since the date on which the information reflected herein was provided to us. Additionally, the selling stockholders may have sold or transferred some or all of their shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act since such date. Other information about the selling stockholders may also change over time. The following table sets forth the maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that may be sold by the selling stockholders identified below under this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some of their shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock from time to time, we cannot estimate the number of shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon the termination of any particular offering by such selling stockholders. The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of shares. The selling stockholders may also offer and sell less than the number of shares of Class A common stock indicated. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus will or will not be offered for sale.

11

Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders

The Contribution Stockholders received an aggregate of 16,229,566 shares of Class B common stock pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. We have granted to the Contribution Stockholders certain demand, “piggy-back” and shelf registration rights with respect to the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the Solaris LLC Units and shares of the Class B common stock issued to the Contribution Stockholders in exchange for the Contribution. Further, the Contribution Stockholders and their designees have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of us, offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Solaris LLC Units or shares of the Class B common stock issued as consideration for the Contribution (or any shares of the Class A common stock acquired in exchange thereof) for 180 days following September 11, 2024.

Following the completion of the Contribution, John Tuma (the sole owner of KTR Management Company, LLC) and John A. Johnson (the sole owner of J Turbines, Inc.) began their employment as Senior Technical Advisor to the Company and President of the Power Division of the Company, respectively.

12

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may sell securities described in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement through underwriters, through broker-dealers, through agents, on one or more exchanges, directly to one or more purchasers, through a combination of any of the foregoing methods of sale, or through any other method permitted by applicable law.

In addition, the selling stockholders may from time to time sell securities in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In such event, the selling stockholders may be required by the securities laws of certain states to offer and sell the shares of common stock only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering by the selling stockholders of the shares of Class A common stock offered under this prospectus. If the shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, we will not be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agents’ commissions.

The selling stockholders may set the price or prices of our securities at:

The selling stockholders may change the price of the securities offered from time to time.

The selling stockholders may act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each of their sales.

From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered. If a selling stockholder defaults in performance of its secured obligations, the pledged or secured parties may offer and sell the securities from time to time by this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances. The number of securities beneficially owned by a selling stockholder will decrease as and when it transfers its securities or defaults in performing obligations secured by the securities. The plan of distribution for the securities offered and sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, distributees, pledgees, affiliates, other secured parties or other successors in interest will be selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

Broker-dealers or other persons may receive discounts or commissions from the selling stockholders, or they may receive commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they acted as agents, or both. Any of such discounts or commissions might be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers or other persons engaged by the selling stockholders may allow other broker-dealers or other persons to participate in resales. If a broker-dealer purchases securities as a principal, it may resell the securities for its own account under this prospectus. A distribution of the securities by the selling stockholders may also be effected through the issuance by the selling stockholder or others of derivative securities, including warrants, exchangeable securities, forward delivery contracts and the writing of options.

If the selling stockholders sell the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered in an underwritten offering, the underwriters may acquire the securities for their own account and resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In any such event described above in this paragraph, we will

13

set forth in a supplement to this prospectus the names of the underwriters and the terms of the transactions, including any underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions and other items constituting compensation of the underwriters and broker-dealers. The underwriters from time to time may change any public offering price and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. Unless otherwise set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities specified in the supplement if they purchase any of the securities.

If a prospectus supplement so indicates, the selling stockholders may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase these securities to which such prospectus supplement relates, providing for payment and delivery on a future date specified in such prospectus supplement. There may be limitations on the minimum amount that may be purchased by any such institutional investor or on the number of these securities that may be sold pursuant to such arrangements. Agents, dealers or underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity of such arrangements or such institutional investors thereunder.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the securities will be the purchase price of the units less the aggregate agents’ discounts or commissions, if any, and other expenses of the distribution not borne by us. The selling stockholders and any agent, broker or dealer that participates in sales of securities offered by this prospectus may be deemed “underwriters” under the Securities Act and any profits, commissions or other consideration received by any agent, broker or dealer may be considered underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders may offer the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus into an existing trading market on the terms described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Underwriters and agents who participate in any at-the-market offerings will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.

Any of the selling stockholders’ underwriters or agents or any of either of their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for us, and/or the selling stockholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

We and the selling stockholders expect to agree to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against, or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We have informed the selling stockholders that during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus they are required to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. With exceptions, Regulation M prohibits the selling stockholders, any affiliated purchasers and other persons who participate in such a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.

We have informed each selling stockholder that they are legally required to deliver copies of this prospectus in connection with any sale of securities made under this prospectus in accordance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements.

14

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. The place and time of delivery for the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

In connection with offerings of securities under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and in compliance with applicable law, underwriters, brokers, or dealers may engage in transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market. Specifically, underwriters, brokers, or dealers may over-allot in connection with offerings, creating a short position in the securities for their own accounts. For the purpose of covering a syndicate short position or stabilizing the price of the securities, the underwriters, brokers, or dealers may place bids for the securities or effect purchases of the securities in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may impose a penalty whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other brokers or dealers for distribution of the securities in offerings may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. These activities may stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

15

The validity of the issuance of the securities offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., Houston, Texas. If certain legal matters in connection with an offering of the securities made by this prospectus and a related prospectus supplement are passed upon by counsel for the underwriters of such offering, that counsel will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement related to that offering.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Set forth below are the expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) expected to be incurred in connection with the offering of the securities registered hereby.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director will not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided for in our certificate of incorporation, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that the corporation will indemnify, and advance expenses to, any officer or director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also contains indemnification rights for our directors and our officers. Specifically, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. Furthermore, we may maintain insurance on behalf of our officers and directors against expense, liability or loss asserted incurred by them in their capacities as officers and directors.

We have obtained directors’ and officers’ insurance to cover our directors, officers and some of our employees for certain liabilities.

II-1

We have entered into written indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, if an officer or director makes a claim of indemnification to us, either a majority of the independent directors or independent legal counsel selected by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a determination whether the officer or director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware law that would permit (under Delaware law) and require (under the indemnification agreement) us to indemnify the officer or director.

The following documents are filed as exhibits to this registration statement, including those exhibits incorporated herein by reference to a prior filing of Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as indicated in parentheses:

II-2

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

II-3

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertake that:

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to certain legal matters in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed on or about the date hereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in connection with the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the offer and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act by one or more selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”), that may redeem shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.00 per share, along with a limited liability company unit of Solaris Energy Infrastructure, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Solaris LLC”) for a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, of up to 16,229,566 shares of Common Stock (the “Redemption Common Stock”).

We have also participated in the preparation of a Prospectus relating to the Redemption Common Stock (the “Prospectus”), which is contained in the Registration Statement to which this opinion is an exhibit.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined, among other things, the (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, of the Company, (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Solaris LLC, dated as of May 11, 2017, as amended (the “Solaris LLC Agreement”), (iii) the Registration Statement, (iv) the Prospectus and (v) the records of corporate proceedings that have occurred prior to the date hereof with respect to the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, and as to factual matters arising in connection with our examination of corporate documents, records and other documents and writings, we have relied upon certificates and other communications of corporate officers of the Company, without further investigation as to the facts set forth therein.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct; (ii) all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine; (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals of those documents; (iv) each person signing the documents that we reviewed has the legal capacity and authority to do so; (v) the Registration Statement and any subsequent amendments (including additional post-effective amendments), will be effective and comply with all applicable laws; (vi) all Common Stock will be issued and/or sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner specified in the Registration Statement and any applicable prospectus supplement to the Prospectus; (vii) a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Common Stock offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (viii) the Redemption Common Stock will have been issued in accordance with the Solaris LLC Agreement and (ix) the Common Stock will be sold in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations, and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that with respect to shares of Redemption Common Stock, when certificates representing the shares of Redemption Common Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered, and delivered (or non-certificated shares of Redemption Common Stock shall have been properly issued) in accordance with the Solaris LLC Agreement, then the shares of Redemption Common Stock will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We express no opinions concerning the enforceability of indemnification provisions to the extent they purport to relate to liabilities resulting from or based upon negligence or any violation of federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction, domestic or foreign.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
