Is Your Biggest Cost Centre an Untapped Asset?

For data centre operators, the immense and rising cost of power is the single biggest operational expenditure. Your facility's reliance on the grid is not just a colossal expense; it's a critical point of failure in an industry where downtime is not an option.

The critical challenges facing modern data centre operators:

Unsustainable Energy Costs

The constant power draw for servers and cooling systems leads to punishing operational overheads, making it a challenge to maintain a competitive PUE.

Absolute Uptime Requirement

A power disruption is a catastrophic failure, violating SLAs, causing data loss, and inflicting irreparable reputational damage. N+1 redundancy is the minimum standard.

Intense ESG & Regulatory Pressure

Clients, investors, and regulators demand demonstrable progress on sustainability. A high carbon footprint is a major risk to compliance and commercial viability.

Transform Your Infrastructure with a Custom Solar Solution

Lower Your PUE and Operational Expenditure

Generate your own clean, low-cost electricity on-site. By reducing your reliance on expensive grid power, a solar installation directly lowers your facility's PUE, providing a powerful competitive advantage and a clear path to reduced Opex.

Powering Mission-Critical Infrastructure

Our Solar + Battery Storage systems are engineered to enhance your power redundancy strategy. By integrating with your existing UPS and generator systems, our solutions provide an additional layer of resilience for:

Server racks and critical IT loads during outages
Essential cooling and HVAC systems to prevent overheating
Security, access control, and monitoring systems
Network connectivity and data transmission infrastructure
Prolonging UPS battery runtime during extended grid failures
Reducing generator fuel consumption and start-up frequency

Enhance My Power Redundancy

Design My Solar + Battery Solution

Meet and Exceed Sustainability Mandates

Demonstrate an undeniable commitment to sustainability. A commercial solar installation is a powerful, visible statement that satisfies client audits, helps achieve regulatory compliance (e.g., CSRD), and enhances your brand as a green hosting provider.

Secure Long-Term Financial Stability

Energy market volatility is a risk to your margins. By generating your own power, you hedge against rising costs and lock in savings. Our systems are designed to scale, allowing you to expand your solar capacity as your facility's power density increases.

Data Centre

"Reducing Energy Costs for Always On Infrastructure"

When a UK data centre operator reviewed its long term energy strategy, reducing electricity costs without compromising uptime was a priority. A 621kWp commercial solar PV system was installed to offset a significant portion of the site’s continuous power demand while maintaining full operational resilience.

The system delivers clear financial and environmental benefits:

£166,925 estimated annual electricity savings
521,640kWh of clean energy generated per year
132.3 tonnes of CO₂ avoided annually
High on site usage driven by continuous 24 hour demand
Improved cost predictability for energy intensive operations

Because data centres operate with 24/7 baseload demand, solar generation is typically consumed on site as it is produced, maximising the value of every generated kilowatt hour while supporting corporate carbon reduction commitments.

Specialist Solutions for Every Facility Tier

Hyperscale & Large Facilities

Maximise the potential of your vast roof space and land. We design multi-megawatt systems that significantly offset grid draw, drastically improve PUE metrics, and open revenue streams through grid balancing services (DSR).

Colocation Providers

Attract eco-conscious tenants with verified "Green Hosting" credentials. Our solutions reduce common area power costs and provide visible proof of your sustainability commitment, helping you win tenders and meet strict client ESG requirements.

Edge Data Centres

Ensure reliability in distributed, remote locations. Our solar and battery systems provide crucial backup for edge sites, reducing generator fuel dependency and ensuring continuous uptime for latency-sensitive applications where grid stability varies.

Enterprise Server Rooms

Transform your internal IT infrastructure from a cost centre into an asset. Reduce the overhead of on-premise servers and extend the runtime of existing UPS systems during power outages with dedicated solar charging.

Frequently Asked Questions for Campsite & Glamping Solar

Are you an MCS Certified installer?

Yes, absolutely. Fusion Solar is fully MCS certified, which is your guarantee of a high-quality, safe installation and is required to benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme for any surplus energy.

What brands of solar panels and batteries do you use?

We design bespoke systems using Tier 1 manufacturers known for high efficiency and robust commercial warranties, such as JA Solar, Q Cells, SunPower, GivEnergy, and Tesla. We specify components based on your specific density and redundancy requirements.

How can a solar installation improve my data centre's PUE?

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the ratio of total facility energy to IT equipment energy. By generating your own clean power on-site, you reduce the amount of energy you need to draw from the grid, which lowers the "total facility energy" part of the equation and therefore improves your PUE score.

What is the typical payback period for a data centre solar installation?

Given the high, constant baseload of data centres and current commercial energy rates, the payback period is typically very fast, often between 4-7 years. Our detailed ROI report will provide a precise financial projection based on your facility's half-hourly data.

Will installation disrupt our live server environment?

No. We understand that 100% uptime is non-negotiable. Our installation teams are experienced in working around live critical infrastructure. We meticulously plan isolation points and work schedules to ensure there is zero disruption to your server loads or cooling systems.

Does this help with SECR and ESG compliance?

Yes. On-site renewable generation is one of the most effective ways to reduce Scope 2 carbon emissions. We provide the data and monitoring tools you need to validate these reductions for SECR reporting, CSRD compliance, and client sustainability audits.

How does solar integrate with our existing UPS and generator systems?

A solar and battery system acts as a primary power source to reduce grid draw. In an outage, the battery provides an immediate, additional layer of backup that extends the runtime of your UPS systems, giving your generators more time to start up or reducing fuel consumption during prolonged outages.

Can we generate enough power if our roof space is limited?

Data centres have high power density, so roof solar alone rarely covers 100% of demand. However, it significantly cuts "peak" grid costs and reduces base load. We also assess options for solar carports, facade systems, and ground mounts if adjacent land is available to maximise generation.

Can you help with DNO grid connection applications?

Absolutely. Large commercial systems require G99 grid approval. We handle the entire DNO application process, load flow analysis, and liaison with the grid operator on your behalf to ensure seamless compliance and connection.

Do you offer O&M (Operations & Maintenance) packages?

Yes. For mission-critical assets, performance is key. We offer comprehensive O&M packages that include 24/7 remote monitoring, preventative maintenance, panel cleaning, and reactive call-outs to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency for its 25+ year lifespan.
