One-Upping Google's Solar

Written by Philip Proefrock on 22/03/07
A couple months ago we told you that Google had announced they were planning to install the largest solar photovoltaic installation in California. But a recent announcement from Applied Materials for an even larger PV installation means Google is no longer the biggest dog on the block. The completed installation should provide 1.9 megawatts of capacity. (Google's project is 1.6 megawatts.)

Applied Materials is a manufacturer of electronics and photovoltaic solar modules, so it's not exactly a fair fight. “As we pursue our strategy to significantly drive down the overall solar cost-per-watt, we feel it is important to lead through example,” said Mike Splinter, president and CEO of Applied Materials.

This is the kind of one-upsmanship that we EcoGeeks applaud.

Don't get so excited. Applied Material's forthcoming solar array is vaporware. The Google PV system was supposed to be 1.9MW but the array was downsized for reasons beyond Google's control. In other words, don't count your solar panels before they're bolted down.

This is fantastic! but what happen with the people Who wants to implement their own PV Arrays.

Take a look to this free educational videos that are a great point reference.
