Solar Hosting
Beanstalk Solar Hosting is powered by a 3.7 kilowatt solar electric photovoltaic (PV) system installed by Adobe Solar of Colorado. This grid-tied solar PV system has been mounted on the roof just above the Beanstalk Solar Hosting servers and is made up of (20) 185 Watt Mitsubishi Solar Panels and (1) Frontius Solar Inverter. Taking advantage of Colorado’s 300+ days of sunshine, this solar PV system is expected to produce an average of 410 Kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. Over the next 30 years, this system will use the free energy from the sun to offset more than 189,000 lbs of CO2, equivalent to driving 220,000 miles, according to Greg Koss owner of Adobe Solar. In addition to providing clean renewable solar electricity, the system is expected to provide savings of over $48,000 in electrical costs at today’s rates.
Geographic Advantage
Located in Denver, Colorado Beanstalk Solar Hosting provides network access at the crossroads of telecommunications in the US. Denver has long been the preferred location for satellite “bounces” coast to coast, helping data and television signals transfer the continental width with ease. The same is true for Internet traffic. The location of our servers in Denver can save precious seconds in web transmissions and download times – a gap called “latency” in the industry – over such traffic traveling coast to coast. This comes in particularly handy during times of high web traffic, like mid to late afternoon during the week and on heavy holiday shopping days, so our hosted websites stay in the forefront of deliverability and functionality at all times.
