My goal is a better world
And sustainable data-centers with less/zero costs in the long run.

I'd not be happy running a data center that's supposed to have lots of uptime on wind power for example. And I want my power to be bullet proof.

Ok then, let's forget us batteries, there are better alternatives outside, see:

You surely want to know, why I ask such things, the cause is: I make a study if green data-centers are possible and if, how they are possible and I want to hear as much suggestions as I can get.
So many thanks in advance for more postings to this thread!
