Google Solar Panel Project

To date, Google has installed over 90 percent of the 9,212 panels that the search giant has planned for the Googleplex. Judging from the photo above, it looks like they're squeezing panels into just about every flat surface at their expansive Mountain View headquarters.
For those itching for some statistics, here it goes: Since June 18, 2007, the panels have generated 21,791 kilowatt hours and 9,904 in the last 24 hours, enough for just over 3,600 loads of laundry.
Understandably proud of their achievement, Google has put together a Solar Panel Project webpage where you can monitor just how much electricity the system is generating. According to the Google Finance-like interactive chart, power appears to peak at around noon-1:00 pm (Pacific).
Only 920 panels to go, give or take!
