On-site rooftop solar at data centers: Everything
“As a large footprint single-story building, it was an ideal platform for us to trial a solar project for one of our data centers,” says
As businesses face mounting pressure to reduce their environmental impact while managing rising operational costs, many are turning to solar power as a sustainable solution. Solar energy offers data centers a path to reduce their carbon footprint and operational expenses.
Solar power has emerged as a game-changing solution for powering data centers and IT infrastructure. In recent years, the increasing concern for environmental sustainability and the rising energy demands of these facilities have propelled the adoption of solar power.
Companies can install solar panels on rooftops, parking lots, or adjacent land to maximize solar energy generation. Power storage solutions, such as batteries, enable data centers to store excess energy for use during periods of low solar generation or high energy demand.
The journey of solar power adoption in data centers and IT infrastructure dates back to the early 2000s when companies started exploring renewable energy sources. However, it wasn't until the last decade that significant strides were made, thanks to advancements in photovoltaic technology and decreasing costs.
