A recent news item in the Atlanta Journal Constitution highlights Google’s efforts to create a green campus at their Mountain View, CA headquarters. According to the article titled Google’s Big Bucks Back Green Ideas, “Already, office lights and computers get their power partly from 9,200 solar panels that cover almost every rooftop here, which Google claims is the largest solar array ever installed by a U.S. corporation.”

Evidence of Google’s solar array is not hard to find. Using the Google Maps service I was able to zoom in on the headquarters via satellite and inspect the rooftops of their headquarters buildings which indeed are covered with solar panels.
