Google shows the benefits of solar energy

Google has shared some information on the benefits their new solar paneled roofs are making at their Silicon Valley headquarters.
From CNet:

The search giant has covered the roofs of eight buildings and two carports at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters with solar panels in an effort to build the largest solar panel installation of any corporate campus in the U.S.

The system is producing approximately 10,000 kilowatt-hours per day.

That equals 8,347 coffee makers running for an hour, 6,257 dishwasher runs, 3,642 loads of laundry washed and dried, or 41,737 alarm clocks running for 24 hours, going by U.S. Department of Energy standards.
