In the last 24 hours, Google produced 3,824 kilowatt-hours of electricity from the sun.

In June 2007 Google completed a 1.6MW solar installation at our Mountain View, CA headquarters - the largest U.S. corporate installation at that time. We installed 9,212 solar panels that cover the rooftops of eight buildings and two solar carports at the Googleplex.

This installation produces enough electricity to power 30% of Google's peak electricity demand in our solar powered buildings at our Mountain View, CA headquarters. That's the equivalent of approximately 1,000 California homes.

We built this page to monitor and share the day-to-day production of clean, renewable energy from our very own rooftops. Keep checking in to see how we're doing. We think the future looks bright!
