• A data centre powered by solar and batteries alone needs an array so oversized that the design is not worth building. AVAustin Vernon18 Apr 2024solardata centers
• A solar-powered data centre can cut its power draw a great deal while giving up very little compute, which is how it survives a run of bad weather. CHCasey Handmer15 Aug 2025solardata centers
• Data centres will end up net suppliers of power to their communities, because a solar plant big enough to keep the machines running spills most of what it makes. CHCasey Handmer8 Dec 2025solardata centers
• Letting generators cover one per cent of the year is what makes an off-grid solar data centre affordable, because the last few gloomy days set the whole array size. AVAustin Vernon18 Apr 2024solardata centers
• A future of constrained energy will need more people working the land, and that is not the same as going back to the past. CSChris Smaje30 Jun 2026solar
