Why More Data Centres Are Switching to Solar

Data centres are under growing pressure to cut operational costs, stabilise energy pricing, and meet aggressive sustainability targets, all while maintaining 24/7 uptime.

Solar offers a high performance, low risk energy solution that reduces dependency on the grid, improves cost control, and strengthens your ESG credentials.

At auron, we design solar and battery systems tailored to the specific needs of colocation sites, hyperscale facilities, and enterprise server rooms, integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure and delivering measurable performance from day one.

Switching to solar gives you:

  • Lower operating costs – reduce your electricity bills by up to 70%

  • Uptime resilience – battery storage supports continuity during grid stress

  • Carbon reduction – offset Scope 2 emissions and support net-zero targets

  • Grid trading potential – monetise excess generation during low-load periods

  • ESG alignment – meet stakeholder expectations and regulatory frameworks

Whether you’re running a Tier III+ facility or managing decentralised edge sites, auron delivers clean energy systems designed for scale, reliability, and long term ROI.

Switching to Solar helps your data centre perform better:

1. Reduce Energy Costs

Solar energy lets your facility generate clean power onsite, significantly reducing grid dependency and helping you stabilise operating costs.
Data centres operate 24/7 and consume huge volumes of electricity. With solar, you cut your energy bills by up to 70%, freeing up OpEx and reducing exposure to volatile pricing or peak-hour surcharges, without compromising performance.

2. Strengthen ESG & Sustainability

Solar directly reduces Scope 2 emissions and supports long-term carbon targets, vital for meeting investor, enterprise, and regulatory expectations.
Whether you're aligning with corporate net-zero goals or maintaining your sustainability advantage in the market, solar helps demonstrate environmental leadership and strengthens your ESG position, at a time when green infrastructure matters more than ever.

3. Achieve Energy Independence

Solar + battery storage (BESS) gives you greater control over uptime, especially during grid instability, peak load periods, or infrastructure stress.
For mission-critical operations, downtime is not an option. Solar provides an independent energy layer, while BESS supports continuity and protects your facility from power interruptions, without relying solely on diesel or the grid.

4. Maximise ROI

Solar pays back fast, and keeps delivering. Most facilities see ROI in 2–4 years, with decades of clean, low cost energy to follow.
Beyond cutting bills, solar enhances your facility's efficiency rating, supports long term cost modelling, and adds investor appeal. Whether you own or manage the asset, solar boosts commercial value and future proofs performance.

Turn Energy Costs Into Cash Flow

Energy is one of the largest and most volatile, operating costs for data centres, from powering servers and cooling systems to maintaining redundant infrastructure and 24/7 uptime.

With auron’s solar and battery systems, you can cut electricity costs by up to 70%, reduce your reliance on the grid, and even generate new revenue by exporting excess power.

By lowering overheads and stabilising your energy strategy, solar helps your data centre become more profitable, more resilient to supply risk, and better aligned with ESG and carbon reduction goals.

How Much Could Your Data Centre Save?

Data centres are among the most energy-intensive facilities in the world, but also among the most solar ready.

With auron’s high performance solar and battery systems, you can reduce electricity costs by up to 70%, offset carbon emissions, and improve operational resilience, without compromising uptime or compliance.

Flexible Funding That Works
for Data Centres

We believe energy intensive infrastructure like data centres shouldn’t face financial barriers to clean, resilient power.

That’s why auron offers flexible funding options designed to protect capital expenditure, support operational continuity, and deliver savings from day one.

Choose the model that suits your business best:

  • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
    Pay nothing upfront. We install and maintain your solar system, and you simply buy the electricity it generates, at a lower rate than your current supplier.

  • Lease to Own
    Spread the cost of your system over manageable monthly payments. You own the system at the end of the term and enjoy the full benefits throughout.

  • Outright Purchase
    Maximise long term returns with a single upfront investment. Full ownership, full savings, full control from day one.

All options include full installation, monitoring and performance support.

Finance is available for most UK data centres and enterprise facilities, subject to eligibility.

Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

We know solar is a big step, and a smart one. Here are the questions we get asked most by data centre operators just like you:

No, our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. Solar adds energy resilience, not risk. With proper design and battery backup, it actually improves your uptime security.

While solar may not meet 100% of demand for large facilities, it can offset a significant portion, often 20–70%, especially when paired with battery storage. It’s an effective way to reduce grid reliance and stabilise costs.

Yes. Solar integrates well with diesel generators, UPS systems, and smart building energy management tools. In fact, it complements these systems by reducing load and extending backup duration during outages.

Solar directly reduces Scope 2 emissions and supports real time energy reporting, ideal for ESG frameworks, GRESB submissions, and investor disclosures. It also enhances your site’s appeal to sustainability focused clients.

Yes. Our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and lease-to-own models require zero CapEx. You start saving from day one and can still meet your ESG targets without upfront investment.

Most rooftop solar installations are covered by permitted development rights. For large scale or ground mounted systems, we’ll handle planning requirements as part of the project.

Data centres make money from solar in two key ways:

  • Cost savings — solar reduces your grid electricity usage by up to 70%, which can result in six or seven figure annual savings for large scale facilities.

  • Revenue generation — when your system produces more energy than you consume, that surplus can be exported back to the grid and monetised via export tariffs or trading schemes.

Over time, most facilities see their system pay for itself in 2–5 years, and continue generating pure profit and carbon offset for decades, all while improving ESG scores, regulatory compliance, and investor appeal.
