Googleplex switched to ... solar energy

The famous giant "Googleplex" of the search giant will switch to using solar energy in the hope of "modeling" for American giants.

This is considered the largest solar project ever used by a US company, and it has been announced by Google in a conference on Solar Energy in Silicon Valley.

Source: AP It is expected that the sun will provide up to 30% of Google's energy to operate the 1 million square foot Sanctuary at Mountain View - 35 miles south of San Francisco. For this, Google will have to install a total of 9200 panels of energy-absorbing glass. After the work is completed, 9200 panels will produce about 1.6 megawatt electricity, enough to supply 1000 ordinary households.

Google did not disclose the cost of the project, but it was difficult to make it difficult for a company to own nearly $ 10 billion in cash. Moreover, according to analysts, the amount of money Google saves from its electricity bills is enough to offset all the funding for the "solarization" project after 5-10 years.

" We hope to attract the attention of American businesses and want to see other firms" imitate ", Google said. Electricity bills are always a top concern at Google, due to the energy needed to run search servers extremely "horribly".

In addition, the Google-founded duo Larry Page and Sergey Brin - are also very active supporters of clean energy. These two young billionaires bought cars "hybrids" right after they were on the market. Page even invested in Tesla Motos, a Silicon Valley start-up that is producing electric cars.
