Google passes to energy of the sun
Shortly to supply with energy headquarters Google in I ¼-twist (state of
California) there will be a sun. The search giant is measured to establish
system of solar batteries which becomes largest of the power supply systems used
today in corporate office complexes on roofs of the offices. As it is informed
in official blog to the company, solar photo-electric panels will develop 1,6
megawatts of energy that will provide about 30 % of the electricity necessary
for offices Google. Approximately as much energy one thousand Californian houses
consumes.
9212 The solar batteries which have been let out by company Sharp Electronics,
will be placed on roofs of four main buildings in Googleplex, and also on roofs
of two structures outside this working complex. Partner Google in the given
initiative becomes company EI Solutions. In what sum realization of the arrogant
project will manage, in Google do not inform. David Redkliff, vice-president
Google concerning the real estate, was at a loss to tell also to agency Reuters,
through what time the company can pay back charges on installation of solar
panels.
In it to year on energy of the sun corporation Microsoft has paid attention also.
It equipped the research center located in same I ¼áÒ¡Ô¿¡-twist, 2288 solar
panels the general capacity in 480 watt. Renewed energy sources are preferred
also by firm Cypress Semiconductor which has established a solar power supply
system by capacity 336 watt on a roof of the office in the Silicon valley.
The world's largest solar power station today operates in (Germany), developing
12 megawatt of energy. The greatest solar power supply system in territory of
the USA which develops 4,6 megawatts of energy, is in desert near city of Tucson
(state of Arizona).
In 2007 in area of a gulf of San Francisco erection of factory on manufacture of
solar elements should come to the end. Annually thefactory will make about 200
million solar panels the general capacity in 430 megawatt. It is remarkable,
that Californian company Nanosolar which sponsor originally was Internet-giant
Google is engaged in construction of factory.
