"Earlier this year, we shared our plans for ‘dragonscale’ solar skin — a
first-of-its kind design made up of 90,000 silver solar panels with the
capacity to generate nearly 7 megawatts of energy.
To hit our goal to operate on entirely carbon-free energy by 2030, we need to
prioritize alternate sources of energy, like solar, and maximize the amount of
solar energy our buildings can capture. So when the designs for our newest
additions to our Silicon Valley campus evolved into a large, canopy structure,
we knew we’d have to think beyond traditional rectangular solar panels to
create something that balanced form and function. Today, the two main
developments that have this solar roof, Bay View and Charleston East, are
nearly complete."
