Big, boxy datacenters would probably benefit from carpeting their roofs with this stuff.


Not really. Most big users of power pay incredibly low per kwhr rates (in the US anyway). Without a realistic feed in tariff (meaning the utility buys the power generated, not the data center) the deal won't be economic (unless the data center agrees to pay more than grid for solar, which they won't).
