Garett Rogers reminded me of Google’s Solar Panel Project, where Google installed about 9,000 solar panels at their headquarters to help power the offices.

Google offers a status report of how much energy was generated from those panels. The latest reading says, “In the last 24 hours, Google produced 644 kilowatt-hours of electricity from the sun.” In other words, the solar panels generated enough power to complete 402 dishwasher cycles for that day.
