The initial solar projects planned for completion by the end of 2017 will generate up to 41 megawatts (MW) of power at Amazon facilities in California, New Jersey, Maryland, Nevada and Delaware. Depending on the specific project, time of year and other factors, a solar installation could generate as much as 80 percent of a single fulfillment facility’s annual energy needs.
Amazon announced on 2 March 2017 a plan to put solar on the rooftops of 50 fulfillment and sortation centers globally by 2020[3]
In 2017 it would start with more than 15 US sites; the initial projects due by end of 2017 would generate up to 41 MW in California, New Jersey, Maryland, Nevada and Delaware[3]
A solar installation could supply as much as 80 percent of a single facility's annual energy needs; at Patterson, California, panels cover over three-quarters of a 1.1 million square foot rooftop and power Amazon Robotics units[3]
Amazon also expanded its Career Choice program to fund NABCEP solar certification for associates[3]

WebFetch could not retrieve Neowin's page (403 Forbidden); its title, "Amazon now has solar panels on over 50 fulfillment centers, ahead of 2020 target," matches the pin's claim of hitting the goal ahead of the stored 2020 date, though unverified directly.

Today’s production capacity is approximately 35 GWh worldwide. However, once Tesla’s Gigafactory and the other facilities being built by LG Chem, Foxconn, BYD, and Boston Power are complete, we will have a total capacity in 2020 of around 122 GWh. This exponential ramping up of production capabilities proves that companies are serious about scale and reducing costs.
The plant comprises more than five million solar panels that span the equivalent of two Central Parks in the desert between Yuma and Phoenix. It generates 290 megawatts of poweróenough electricity to fuel 230,000 homes in neighboring California at peak capacity. Costing a total of $1.8 billion to construct, received a million-dollar loan from the Loan Programs Office.
