April 13, 2012 (ENS) - Missouri's two major league baseball teams have scored solar energy projects. Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals have installed solar panels that were up and generating power when the 2012 season opened.
The fans will see the new solar arrays today when the Cardinals and the Royals each host their first games of the 2012 season.
At the Cardinals' home ballpark, Busch Stadium in St. Louis, the defending World Series champion Cardinals and St. Louis-based Microgrid Energy have installed 106 solar panels on the roofs of the concession area and ticket building in the Ford Family Plaza.
The solar array at the stadium's northeast corner will produce up to 32,000 kWh of energy each year. The Cardinals will celebrate Solar Day on April 29 when they play the Milwaukee Brewers.
"We are excited about this installation because of the tremendous impact we expect it to have on raising awareness and educating people on the strong viability of solar in Missouri," says Microgrid Energy CEO Rick Hunter. "The Royals and Cardinals have such a strong presence in our state, so it is exciting to think about the far-reaching impact their solar projects will likely have on growing interest in solar in Missouri." read more>>>
