For any sizable data center, rooftop solar is unlikely to cover a large portion of a facility's energy needs. Most solar deployments are in the hundreds of kilowatts (kW), compared to megawatts of demand per data hall at today's hyperscale facilities.
While most new and/or purpose-built facilities should be able to handle the extra weight of some solar panels, repurposed buildings converted to data center use might not be as able to take the strain. Some reports suggest that up to 40 percent of commercial buildings are unable to take the weight of rooftop solar.
Many data centers feature large amounts of plant equipment, such as chillers and generators, on the roof, meaning there is simply not enough space to justify a solar deployment. And those that do today, might not in the future if the operator has any desire to expand capacity and add more chillers.
