eBay unveiled San Jose’s largest solar installation last week with a system that spans 60,000 square feet atop multiple buildings at the company’s North Campus.

The campus is now the home of 3,248 solar panels in a 650-kilowatt system that will supply 18 percent of the campus’s power, saving the company about $100,000 in electricity costs in its first year of operation. And a special deal with SolarCity, which installed the system, allows employees to implement solar energy in their homes through a SolarLease financing option with a discounted cash-purchase feature.
