Data centers often get a bad rap when it comes to aesthetics.
The thought of giant grey boxes springing up has caused stirs with local residents and planning officials the world over.
To counter this, many operators seek to make their buildings more alluring. Some add windows to give the appearance of an office. Others opt for green walls and the burden of keeping hundreds of plants alive. Some, however, instead choose walls of solar panels – often known as facade solar.
