Google goes Solar

Google has announced employing huge solar panels to provide around 1.6 MW energy for its Googleplex, surprisingly this meets only 30 percent of its energy needs. This will be the largets corporate US solar installation. The costs of the installation are not known, but it has been designed by El Solutions and Google plans to recover the costs in around 10 years. Seeing the energy needs of Google i would say a significant and critical investment by them.
