The Rutland 913 is for charging batteries on boats, You will have no chance
of using it to run a server (24/7), as a guess I would think you are going
to need 5 or 6 of them.
Clearly you are thinking of the environment, you would be best using a
power
supply company who uses renewable source, you will pay slightly more for
your power but you know they have purchased the power from sourced you
approve. I cannot help with any names sorry
