    Great idea, we need to be doing this more, it also saves on air conditioning costs as there will be less need to cool the cars down when you drive off.

    And that can save some energy, too, considering how hot it is in Texas.

    “It’s amazing what people can do to make the world a better place. Though, I have to say, this wouldn’t have had happened if we were more cautious about our environment (debatable as it may be), it’s still nice to know that alternative sources of fuel are being more of a trend.”

    They should take over every parking lot in Texas (well, maybe there should be some greenspace in there too). All of the southwestern states should take advantage of the constant sunlight that they have.

    I know that McBride was the General Contractor on this project and was the one "tapped" by Dell to do this project. I did a little research and have seen that they [McBride] have done some pretty large installations around the US. One at Universitu of Colorado/Pueblo that was over a megawatt. Way to go McBride Electric. McBride is offering a discount on a home solar install;ation for the Dell employees as well. Way to step up guys !!
