A report card on the Googleplex solar panels ?

As a solar (photovoltaic) enthusiast, and a neighbor of the

Googleplex, I check up on the solar systems at the Google-

plex from time to time. While we approach its first anniversary

of its unveiling witha big PR splash; the official corporate web

page that monitors its performance has been non-operational,

–see http://www.google.com/corporate/solarpanels/home.

We have been eager to serve as the self-appointed watch-dog

on the performance of this illustrious solar site. Our FREE public

service PV performance bench-mark website at:

http://www.pvperformance.com/) had demonstrated to be

1% accurate–see comment number 4 ‘…14% of unaccounted

loss of output’ at:

http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=49007,

when an EI Solutions staff noted that only 85% of the system

were hooked-up during the first couple of months of its operation

since June 18, 2007. I like to invite Google to fix-up its corporate

web page and share with the world, the health status of this

exemplary system.

Disfunctional Googleplex solar monitor

A novel solar monitoring-analyzer

As a neighbor to the Googleplex, I have been very disappointed at the
official Google corporate solar panel website--
http://www.google.com/corporate/solarpanels/home.

The display has not been functional for months; with a apologetic
message: "Oops! ..., but don't worry -- the solar panels are still working!
Please come back soon."

We have been working on a free public service website that offers
an instant benchmark of predicted performance (output power) for
any solar installation, as described by essential parameters entered
in an online form, --http://www.pvperformance.com/index.php.
It allows a homeowner, or anyone with sufficient knowledge about a
solar installation to check for it's proper performance.

For example, at this time 8:20AM, Mar. 28, 2008, the Sun's intensity
is about 175 w/m*m, and ambient temperature is about 5 degree C.
With publicly known parameters about the Googleplex solar farm,
our methodology predicts an output of 8.8 KW, assuming the panel
temperature to be about 10 degree C. For those curious about
the Googleplex farm performance, or any known solar site, please
visit http://www.pvperformance.com/ and find out.

We hope Google will fix their monitoring problem soon, and that
they will reconsider our offer of free assistance in getting it up and
running. Of course, we would be thrilled if they are willing to pay
for a demonstration of the world's most advanced diagnostic solar
monitoring web page, --see http://www.pvmonitor.net/ivmath.php.
This prototype is close to being completed, and we need financial
support.
