Hi, I'm a developer with three year of experience. I am trained in Java/J2e but I am mostly a Javascript/Typescript lover <3 currently working in GIS, with ReactJS and LeafletJS
True the solar panel are not the best solution compared to windmills. But their worth and efficiency depend on their location. The question of the energy is always linked to the environment (is the place more windy, or has more sunshine, or is close to a river,...)
Planting trees is indeed pretty straightforward. Is it really able to compensate the energy consumed by datacenters ? I'm not sure.
Compensation would depend on the energy source I guess, nuclear, wind, solar salt boilers, or geothermal are all low carbon emission solutions relative to construction emission and operating emission to my knowledge.

Yes but electricity isn't easily transported. Therefore the sources must be close and in sufficient quantity. Apart from the nuclear (which open another can of worms) it would implies that the datacenter must need less energy, so they should be smaller
True, that could imply that one of the deciding factors for more environmental datacenters would be location, a data center next to a dam fx. could be quite large without drawbacks to my knowledge

Probably yes, depending on what a datacenter needs to work, maybe a study would be necessary to know the quantity of energy by quantity of data
