Solar Energy for 2 Servers?
Hello. I am an average home user owning 2 servers, they run all the time and I need that for remote access, web access and at the same time, I am using one of them as a domain controller. They run Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. They are really good. Only thing that’s a little issue is that I have a crappy comcast residental internet access, which doesn’t have support for a lot of professional networking, but thats not that bad for my needs. Now, there is only 1 thing which makes this system limited, Power Usage. My Electricity bill is very high because of these 2 servers, plus my workstations that are on all the time. One server is 500w power supply and another one is 450w. Now, is there a way I could use solar power for my servers, so that I Conserve my electricity bill for lights or something other than computers? Or is solar power just good enough for lights and radios because of the watt usage. Please tell me weather I can user solar power for my server system. Thank You.
You could use solar power, but what will you do at nights?
Besides that:” you’d need quite a few square feet before you’d actually have enough solar screens that will cover all your needs.
But setting up some solar energy cells can never harm, in contrary so: they will help bringing down Your Electricity bill (and with the prices expected to rise over the next decade, the returns will only get better!). Simply hook the solar power supplies up to a regular outlet (I have done that here). That way, even when my computers are off the power generated from the solar screens is given to the rest of the house (cause my fridge needs electricity too, as does my heating system, etcetera)…
