A Study on Constructing an Energy Saving Cloud System Powered by Photovoltaic Generation

In this paper, we consider a way as a cloud platform in keeping with green IT. A cloud platform can create a high performance environment consisting of ordinary PCs. However, it has continuous energy requirements. This is undesirable in terms of environmental concerns, because of the increased CO2 emissions from generating the required electricity. Therefore, this study aimed at realizing a cloud platform powered by solar power and low consumption electricity computation device to overcome the disadvantage. In this paper, in order to provide a movable system, we consider the amount of solar panels and battery capacity required by the system. Moreover, we consider steps to apply a small core server using the ARM processor.
