• Apple to set up 20MW solar array at North Carolina data centers

  • iPad-3-Quad-Core-Processor.jpgApple has been making an effort to stay green since quite a while now, and has just released its 2012 Environmental Report, with its Maiden data center in focus. This data center in North Carolina will soon sport the largest end user-owned solar array in the United States and will cover an area of about 100 acres. All this will help generate 42 million kWh of green renewable juice annually, while Apple also plans to build a 5MW Fuel Cell facility alongside it. The 20MW installation will help Apple wipe off its carbon footprint to quite an extent, and will further help the manufacturers of iOS devices to stay eco-friendly.
