Feasibility Study for 1 MW Solar-Powered AI Data Center Facility

HOMER Pro PVsyst SAM (System Advisor Model) Financial Modeling (DCF) Python
Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Data center operators planning islanded compute facilities struggle to determine whether dedicated solar-plus-storage microgrids can reliably sustain a flat 1 MW 24/7 baseload while maintaining economic viability, given massive upfront CAPEX for oversized PV arrays, multi-MWh lithium-ion battery degradation cycles, and uncertain payback timelines.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Conduct a rigorous techno-economic feasibility study utilizing HOMER Pro and PVsyst to optimize PV-to-storage capacity ratios for 99.9%+ baseload uptime, paired with a 20-year DCF financial model detailing CAPEX, OPEX, LCOE, battery replacement schedules, and IRR sensitivity across varying compute utilization rates.
