Real estate firm Plouton Group is pitching for investment in a data center in the Mojave desert, California, which will be powered by an on-site solar farm when the sun shines.

The planned facility will be marketed to Fortune 1000 companies in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
"It has never been more profitable to produce electricity from the sun," said .Ramak J. Sedigh, co-founder and CEO of Plouton Datacenter.

The data center is expected to house around 40 to 50 MW in IT capacity,and will be the sole customer for the on-site 40 to 50 MW solar farm.
