Abstract :
Google´s project is the largest corporate installation of solar panels in North America. It has grabbed headlines since Google announced it a year ago. That said, it isn´t even in the worldwide top 10 of roof-mounted solar projects. A handful of factories in Germany and Japan take that honor, as well as a couple of roofs in Spain and the Netherlands. At the very least, the search giant´s solar play adds one more country to the list of star performers in the world of commoditized sunshine. And it seems clear that Google´s array won´t be tops in North America for long.
