Abstract :
We propose 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 using solar power and low consumption electricity PC to overcome the disadvantage. In this paper, in order to provide a movable system, we consider the amount of solar panels and the capacity of sealed lead acid battery required by the system.
