Dell on Sustainability Kick; Generating Power and Protecting Against Hail Damage

Dell's Parking Lot Solar Array

Dell just rolled out a new solar array at its Round Rock Headquarters (is that RR2 in the picture?).  The array of panels can generate 131,000 kwH of electricity each year for its corporate headquarters and also includes 2 charging stations for any electric cars the employees drive to work.

All efforts at combating Global Warming Climate Change aside, I bet there’s a rush to park under those locations by employees, even if it means parking farther away from the building. If you haven’t lived in Central Texas, your car is an oven between the months of May and October due, regardless of tint and sunshades. Also the Texas Hill Country is known for getting hail over an 1″ in diameter multiple times a year. Solar or no solar, its nice to have covered parking!
