Only at night. Build 3 data centra and you can provide full solar power to at least one of them at any time, just shift the workload to the resource with the power

Or base your DC in a location with lots of other renewable energy

Just run your AGI during the day and suspend it at night?

Also makes it easier to fight when it turns evil
