Solar Panels for Data Centres
A Sustainable Energy Solution
Enquire & Invest in Your Future
How Do Solar Panels Power Data Centres?
Solar panels designed for data centres use the same fundamental principles as those used in other applications. Photovoltaic (PV) cells capture sunlight and transform it into direct current (DC) electricity. The energy is then transformed into alternating current (AC) through inverters, making it suitable for the complex electrical systems that keep data centres running.
Data centres are energy-intensive, with significant power demands for servers, cooling systems, and auxiliary infrastructure. Incorporating solar energy allows data centres to generate a portion of their power on-site. This reduces dependence on traditional electricity sources and significantly cuts carbon emissions, making solar panels a key player in achieving energy efficiency and sustainability.
Why Choose Solar Panels for Your Data Centre?
Modern consumers and business stakeholders expect companies to adopt environmentally responsible practices. Switching to solar energy helps your data centre save money while actively supporting sustainability. It’s a meaningful way to address environmental concerns and build stronger connections with clients and partners who value green solutions.
How We Help You Go Solar
Our process is designed to make your switch to solar as smooth as possible:
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Switching to solar slashes fossil fuel reliance cuts emissions, and boosts your brand’s green credibility—showcasing your commitment to a sustainable future.
Strengthened Brand Identity
Solar panels position your data centre as a sustainability leader, attracting green-focused partners and clients while showcasing your commitment to ethical innovation.
Regulatory Compliance and Green Certifications
Installing solar panels ensures compliance with evolving regulations, earns green certifications, and gives your data centre a competitive edge.
Significant Cost Savings
Generate your own power with solar panels and cut down on energy bills. Over time, these savings add up, making solar a smart investment that’s also good for the planet.
Enhanced Energy Resilience
Solar energy gives your data centre added independence, keeping operations running smoothly during outages and safeguarding critical systems.
Make the Most of Your Data Centre’s Space
Most data centres have large, flat rooftops that are ideal for solar panels. These spaces get plenty of sunlight, allowing you to generate significant amounts of energy on-site. Flat or gently sloping roofs are especially well-suited, as they’re easy to work with and avoid issues like shading.
If your rooftop space is limited, ground-mounted solar panels are a great alternative. Open areas around your facility, like unused land or car parks, can be used to install panels, giving you flexibility and ensuring maximum energy output.
At Igen Energy, we work with you to thoroughly evaluate your site for solar. We’ll look at everything—your roof’s condition, how it’s positioned, any shading issues, and planning
requirements—to create a solar solution that’s right for you.
Let’s Build a Sustainable Future Together
Installing solar panels at your data centre is more than just a cost-saving measure—it’s a step toward a greener, more sustainable future. With Igen Energy, you’ll have an experienced team by your side to help you reduce energy costs, boost reliability, and make a real difference for the environment.
