Check out the new photo-voltaic solar system run office in VITEC Germany.

The new photo-voltaic solar system was recently installed in the VITEC office in Germany. The new system will provide enough solar energy to run the entire IT system, which includes over 36 servers, plus a lithium ion energy storage battery to store excess power. VITEC Germany completed an energy savings audit in 2020, that resulted in a number of recommendations that have been implemented along with the solar panel installation:

Replaced high-energy consumption heat-pump
Elevated the target temp of server room by 3‪⁰ C resulting in an expected energy saving of 30%‬‬
All light bulbs in the facility have been replaced with LED lights
Motion, twilight and sound sensors were installed
236 solar panels installed at our office in Schwentinental
Smart thermostats were installed to factor in external temps to adjust climate control
Also built into the upgrades was a charging station for electric cars
