Intel should also be making solar panels. It is the same type silicon and wafer machines to make PC chips as solar cells.

With the big incentives a company and home can get solar reaslly pays off. It also reduces air pollution, loads on power line and tansformers as well as reduces water use for coal, NG and nuclear. It good for everyone.

25-30 ct/kWh is not that bad. I live in Germany and have to pay my power supplier 0,22 €/kWh (ca. 0,28 $/kWh).

I suppose feeding the system directly with the solar panels for servers really wouldn’t make sense. However, feeding the power to the air conditioners, to supliment the power (and seeing how most A/C run hardest during daylight hours) would be a beter idea.

We use a 10kw PV array to power our servers, & capture the waste heat to heat our facility during the winter. During the summer, the server heat is vented directly outside and air conditioning is only used as auxiliary as cooling.
