Solar Solutions for Data Centres
Powering High-Demand Facilities with Renewable Energy
Data centres are at the heart of the global digital economy but come with significant energy demands. These facilities are uniquely suited for solar PV systems due to their large roof areas, round-the-clock operations, and need for sustainable energy solutions.
Solplus specialises in designing and installing large-scale solar systems that meet the stringent energy requirements of data centres while reducing costs and carbon footprints.
Whilst modern day data centres have become more efficient, the vast amount of computing power that’s required to deliver astronomical amounts of data every single day place is a burden on your energy usage. Backups and latency are a huge industry that require significant energy resources.
- Cost Reduction: Offset a substantial portion of energy costs, saving up to £150,000 annually with a 1 MW system.
- Boost Energy Resilience: Ensure uninterrupted power supply for critical operations, such as refrigeration and production lines.
- Advance Sustainability Goals: Meet growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible practices while reducing your carbon footprint.
Can solar panels meet the high energy demands of data centres?
Yes, solar can offset a significant portion of energy needs. Battery storage ensures uninterrupted power even during low sunlight periods.
How does solar support ESG compliance for data centres?
Solar reduces carbon emissions, helping data centres align with corporate ESG goals and meet environmental regulations.
Is solar energy reliable enough for critical systems?
When paired with battery storage, solar provides consistent and reliable power, even during grid outages
What’s the ROI for a solar installation on a data centre?
ROI typically occurs within 5–8 years, depending on system size, energy usage, and incentives such as tax breaks.
Are solar panels durable enough for industrial environments?
Yes, modern solar panels are designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
