FOSTER CITY / CA – Sunday, January 3, 2016 –
SolarCity®, a national leader in solar power system design, financing, installation, monitoring and related services, unveiled a new solar installation at Intel’s Jones Farm Campus in Hillsboro, Oregon

Intel also showcased a kiosk in its visitor building lobby last week, provided by SolarCity, to educate employees, visitors and students about solar power. The kiosk displays an Internet feed from SolarGuard™, SolarCity’s monitoring system, to provide updates every 15 minutes on Intel’s solar system’s production, electricity offset and environmental impact.
The 100.8 kilowatt DC solar electric system consists of 504 solar modules on the roof of Building Four at the Jones Farm Campus. In the first 25 years of the system’s lifetime, it is expected to offset more than 4 million pounds of greenhouse gas that would otherwise have been emitted by coal or fossil-fuel-generated electricity. This would be the equivalent of taking 21.5 cars off the road for 25 years, or planting 35 acres of trees. Intel is currently the largest voluntary purchaser of “green power” in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
“We’re honored to offer clean, affordable, renewable energy to an innovation and sustainability leader like Intel,” said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. “In addition to contributing science, technology and educational resources to local communities, Intel has provided strong corporate leadership on sustainability issues.”
