Taking into account cost savings, government regulations and environmental protection, many data centers are considering using solar energy to run power to them.

Examples of such data centers are in St. Louis, Emerson data center in Oregon to Intel  Data Center, in Phoenix of the Google headquarters and i / o data centers.

Emerson has a roof panel array that can provide 100 kilowatts, about 13% of the total energy demand. Google Inc. Headquarters (Googleplex) has a 1.6 megawatt solar panel array, Intel have been in Oregon and New Mexico has established a 100 kW and a 10-kilowatt solar panel array. New data center is located in Rio Rancho, which has 64 Sharp solar panels.  California in Romoland has a 2000-square-foot data center, it is 120 PV-powered. Manager Phil Nail called it completely “green.”

Various government rebates, tax incentives and other concessions available to solar power, which makes data centers to benefit from these policies. For example, such as California, New Jersey, Arizona and Nevada, providing various incentives for the use of solar energy, such as: costs and federal tax discounts.

With energy conservation and the need to find and use the enhanced awareness of alternative energy sources, more and more people are likely to use photovoltaic cells and solar charger to power. The move also makes sense, because it will return to the enterprise , the enterprise benefits. In addition, thanks to China’s products to enter the market, so we are concerned about the price of solar panels are also dropping. Perhaps the full use of solar energy also take some time, because the data center requires a lot of energy to support its server operation and equipment cooling. Lots of solar panels can only provide a fraction of the energy needed.

According to Emerson responsible for IT strategic planning Keith Gislason above, reached by a new power (SunTec Power) to install solar panels in return, a rough estimate is that 20 years. He also said that the costs associated with the mounting plate turned out to be higher than the listed price is also lower.
