Microsoft Installs Silicon Valley’s Largest Solar Panel System at Its Mountain View Campus | |
|
||
| Time: 01:59 EST/06:59 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. is proud to announce the installation of its new solar electric system at the company’s Silicon Valley Campus (SVC). It is the largest of its kind in Silicon Valley. Generating 480kW at peak capacity, this system is composed of 2,288 tiles that will supply enough energy to power nearly 500 homes. Rolling blackouts are sometimes mandated in Silicon Valley during the summer months when power consumption is at its highest. The system is designed to deliver maximum output when the local energy grid is under the greatest strain. “Microsoft is committed to being a responsible environmental citizen locally and globally,” said John Matheny, site manager for the SVC and general manager of Microsoft® TV Services at Microsoft. “Implementing the latest practices and technologies to protect the environment is good for the community and good for our business.” | ||
