The San Francisoc Giants have agreed in a partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric to install solar panels on the port walk outside of AT&T Park.
From the website:
“The port walk is a signature location of the ballpark,” said Peter Magowan, Giants president and managing general partner. “We will showcase solar power in one of the most visible locations on the waterfront. In turn, we hope to send a message to our fans, television viewers and the greater community about the importance of using energy wisely and efficiently.â€
The 590 panels will provide 120 kilowatts of power and will be connected to San Francisco’s power grid. The power created is enough to run the scoreboard for about a year or a handful of homes. Although the panels will not supply power to the stadium, they will hopefully set a good example and hopefully start a trend for other professional sports teams.
