Google Inc., in its quarters at Mountain View, California, announced its partnership with El Solutions - an energy innovations company - to install 1.6 megawatts of solar photovoltaic panels to create solar energy. According to Google, the electricity generated from the solar energy can power about 1,000 average California homes.

Solar cells provides long-lasting source of electricity that is very environment-friendly. Unlike fuels, the photovoltaic cells don't emit pollution and is very low in terms of maintenance. Also, photovoltaic cells can be an advantage in the long run since energy from the sun is virtually free and unlimited. And California is surely one of the best places to install solar energy technologies with its sunny climate.

Photovoltaic, also known as solar cells, is just one of the means to acquire solar energy. They are commonly seen in low-power devices such as calculators. Aside from benefits like producing clean and renewable renewable energy, it also allow its users to save electricity and money. Google also added, "We believe this project demonstrates that a large investment in renewable energy can be profitable."
