I'm surprised it took Google this long to finally install solar panels at their Mountain View, California headquarters. This especially considering that FedEx did it at their Oakland, California cargo facility over a year ago. Must be the fact that solar panels have rapidly dropped in price in recent years.

They are cheaper but I believe it still takes 20 years to break even. Hardly a good economic choice...

The spike in energy, commodities and especially refined silicon made mine very expensive this past summer. Google should get a quantity discount, but it will still take 50 years to recoup the costs.

Does that mean that Google search will go dark until the Frisco fog burns off practically every morning. :)

"Must be the fact that solar panels have rapidly dropped in price in recent years."The CBC (Canadian) news did a report on this topic last night. Apparently those who use "clean" power will be able to sell energy credits to companies that can't or won't do so.
