Search giant Google will begin constructing the nation’s largest solar electricity system on its Mountain View campus, the company said today.

The system will have a total capacity of 1.6 megawattas, which is enough to power 1,000 homes in the US. The solar panels sound pretty complex. Energy Innovations, a company out of Pasadena, is making solar panels that will track the sun as it moves, which should increase the efficiency of these new designs.
