Fast-growing solar solutions provider REC Solar has announced the completion of an 87 kilowatt solar electric system for leading law firm Cooley Godward Kronish's 130,000 square-foot office building on Hanover Avenue in Palo Alto.

The system is the largest system for any Bay Area law firm and the third largest solar installation in Palo Alto. Cooley is among only a handful of law firms nationwide to install solar panels. Cooley has approximately 175 attorneys in Silicon Valley and 650 attorneys firmwide.

The 465 state-of-the-art rooftop solar panels will, over the course of their lifetime, reduce greenhouse gasses by more than four million pounds and the power saved will be equal to driving more than five million miles in an average-size car.

"With eight offices nationwide and 1,500 attorneys and staff, we are focused on cost-effective ways to reduce our energy consumption and environmental impact," said Palo-Alto based partner and firmwide Business Department Chair Eric Jensen.

"In addition, we count as clients in our Clean Technology practice some of the leading entrepreneurs and investors in the world, who have further inspired all of us at Cooley to do our part."

"Many companies are going green these days and it is no longer based strictly on the financial benefits. It may be based on environmental concerns, financial stability or to be good stewards of the environment and ensure a positive impact in the community. It is a pleasure to be involved in an industry where we work with forward thinking and progressive individuals who want to do good by doing right," said Angiolo Laviziano, CEO and President REC Solar.

The solar panel installation is one of many initiatives underway both in Cooley's Palo Alto office and firmwide to increase environmental responsibility.
