Colorado Rockies Install Solar-Powered LED Board at Coors Field

Denver, Colorado [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] The Colorado Rockies announced last week that 46 solar panels have been installed to provide power on Opening Day at Coors Field, the result of a partnership between the Rockies and Xcel Energy. The 9.89-kilowatt solar array, installed by Independent Power Systems, will produce over 14,000 kilowatt hours of energy, enough to offset the consumption of the Rockpile LED board over one year. In the walkway just under the system, a flat-panel monitoring system will show fans the real time consumption of the Rockpile LED board as well as the real time energy production from the solar array. Fans will also be able to learn more about solar energy throughout the season at an educational display inside the ballpark.
