“Pardon our dust while we go solar!” I didn’t get what they are trying say at first, but now I do. They are now constructing the solar panel, so it is a little dusty at the constructing site, but once they finished, several buildings at Googleplex will be all powered by solar!

From Googleplex Going Solar - October 2006:

Google Blog says they will soon start the installation of 1.6 megawatts of solar photovoltaic panels at Googleplex. This project will be the largest in the U.S. of any corprate campus, and probably the largest in the world! These electricity will power several Googleplex’s buildings. The amount of electricity that will be generated is equivalent to powering about 1,000 average California homes, and it will save Google $393,000+ annually.
