Solar for Data Centres

In today’s digital age, data centres play a key role, but the energy consumption of data centres is substantial, making it crucial to explore sustainable energy solutions. With such large and often clear, flat roofs, solar panels are an obvious option for powering data centres, offering a clean and renewable energy supply that can cut energy costs and carbon emissions with one programme.

The single biggest barrier to adoption is often the cost of the solar installation. This disappears with Electron Green’s free solar programme.

Net Zero for Data Centres

Data centres demand vast amounts of electricity to keep servers running, cooling systems operating, and infrastructure powered. With Electron Green’s tailored solar solutions, data centres can harness on-site renewable energy, cutting their reliance on traditional power sources. Not only does this lower operational costs, but it also slashes carbon emissions – helping data centres lead the charge towards a greener, more sustainable future.

FAQ's

Solar PV (solar photovoltaics) is a way of generating electricity using energy from the sun. Modern solar panels produce electricity from daylight and do not require direct sunlight, although more electricity is generated on bright sunny days.

Yes it is. This includes any initial consultation, the  solar panels, installation, and maintenance for 25 years. You’ll pay for only the solar electricity you use, at a price lower than your current utility cost.

Simply get in touch with us. There is no obligation to proceed beyond the information stage, but we would love to discuss solar with you.

No you don’t. Rooftop solar electricity is fed directly into your data centre and is used first before your building pulls from the grid for ‘top-up’ electricity. Any top-ups happen automatically. You don’t have to change utility provider and you don’t have to wait until your current utility contract comes to an end. Rooftop solar could supply up to 30% of your electricity needs.

Any solar electricity generated will be used by your data centre automatically. You don’t need to take any steps to make this happen.

This depends on the size of the system, and any local regulations. The whole process, however, can be swift and non-disruptive to business-as-usual.

There are four key steps:

  1. Evaluation: A ‘desktop’ assessment  to assess your roof for solar – size of system, any shading, likely savings based on any information you have provided about your energy usage. You will get a report with our recommendations.
  2. Surveys: A detailed on-site survey of your data centre, roof and electrics followed by a detailed solar design.
  3. Install: Specify equipment, planning, and construction management.
  4. Switch on: Once the system is in, you will start to receive clean and green electricity from the sun.

This free rooftop solar solution is simple and includes: free solar designs and surveys, a free solar PV system for the roof, free installation, free insurance, free maintenance for the life of your contract and a low price for electricity.

You have the option to purchase the solar system from us at any time, with the price adjusted to reflect depreciation over the duration of your contract.
