In the last 24 hours, Google produced 6,783 kilowatt-hours of electricity from the sun. In October 2006, Google announced a commitment to solar energy production and launched the largest solar panel installation to date on a corporate campus in the United States. Google has installed over 90% of the 9,212 solar panels that comprise the 1,600 kilowatt project.



Panels cover the rooftops of eight buildings and two newly constructed solar carports at the Googleplex (check out this fly-over video).This installation is projected to produce enough electricity for approximately 1,000 California homes or 30% of Google's peak electricity demand in our solar powered buildings at our Mountain View, CA headquarters.
