An Experiment and Discussion of the Reboot Feature on the Photovoltaic Grid System

We propose a way to reuse obsolete older model PCs as a grid in keeping with green IT. A grid 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 grid powered using solar power to overcome the disadvantage, while reusing obsolete older model PCs. If it keeps up bad weather, the system may stop because solar panel can´t generate electricity plentifully. The reboot feature reboots the system when the system´s batteries charge from empty electricity capacity to sufficient electricity capacity. We have implemented the reboot feature on the system and experimented in this paper.
