    If installed power peak is 18.65MWp that there is not possibility to €3.5 million to be 49%. In Slovakia (and we are little bit cheaper then Germany installation) you can count around 2,5€ per Wp (with thin-film down to 2€ per Wp) of installation cost. 18 650 000 Wp times 2 € = 37,3 million €. Thus 3.5 million is less than 10%.

    I'm stoked to see Google investing in a clean energy future! Storing our ever increasing treasure trove of youtube videos, mail attachments, and picasa albums have real energy and environmental consequences. Kudos to Google for actively pursuing clean energy to power their business.

    I hope other companies with large data center power demands get on board the clean energy train as well. We're all in this together!

    That's a good thing for Google and Europe. I'm not very surprised about this, Germany has always been a leader in clean energy development and plus solar power really needs to be promoted in Europe.

    I like what Google has done with solar towers in the US, but I am dubious about Photovoltaic generation. Making a PV panel is a silicon doping process which produces polluting elements at the output. The environmental impact of that production seems to be a pollution risk to me, not to mention the carbon footprint of actually producing the panels.

    I love renewable energies, but I am concerned by the on-going environmental impact of PV.

    Well done Google, but...

    I am about to tell you about solar panels? I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of solar panels. Given that its influence pervades our society, there are just not enough blues songs written about solar panels. Since it was first compared to antidisestablishmentarianism much has been said concerning solar panels by those most reliant on technology, many of whom fail to comprehend the full scope of solar panels. Complex though it is I shall now attempt to provide an exhaustive report on solar panels and its numerous 'industries'.
