Google car park filled with solar trees

It is well known that Google loves the environment with its founders driving hybrid cars, and that fact is accentuated by the ambitious solar project located at their Mountain View headquarters. Google has set up approximately 9,000 solar panels to power approximately one third of the complex’s power demand, where 3,000 of those solar panels function as a ‘solar tree’ that line the parking lots. These solar trees not only convert the sun’s power into useable electricity, it also shades the vehicles underneath from the scorching heat as well as rain. It is nice to see corporate giants doing their part for the environment.
