Energy

The sun is the most abundant source of energy at our disposal, only 0.02% of solar resources would be required to provide enough energy for the entire World. Currently renewable resources only account for 10% of the world's energy supply. Your website needs to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why not make sure it’s running on servers which are 100% solar powered and carbon free.

Solar power

Our servers are located in the world’s first and only 100% solar powered data centre. Located in California where the sun is always shining, the data centre is powered by two solar panel arrays consisting of 120 on site solar panels.

Solar panel system:

Eliminates the production of harmful emissions equivalent to planting 8 acres of trees per year. The entire data center is powered by the sun. From the servers to the air conditioning.

  • eliminates the production of harmful emissions such as CO2 with the equivalent of planting 8 acres of trees per year. Everything is powered by solar, including our office, all servers, a/c systems, networking and other hardware.

Emissions saved in 1 year:

  • over 15,643 kg of CO2 (Greenhouse)
  • over 22 kg pounds of Nitrogen oxide (Smog)
  • over 18 kg of Sulfate (Acid rain)

Lighting

The data centre also uses natural lighting wherever possible. Solar tubes have been installed to concentrate and bring in sunlight to the building. Each solar tube replaces 300 watts of normal electrically lighting, that would have been on 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Saves emissions in 1 year from a coal-burning power plant:

  • over 300 kg of CO2 (Greenhouse)
  • over 1 kg of Nitrogen oxide (Smog)
  • over 2.5 kg of Sulfate (Acid rain)
