The San Diego Padres announced the installation of Major League Baseball’s largest solar power system. Sullivan Solar Power, a founded by a San Diego native, is outfitting Petco Park with the 336,520-watt sustainable energy project of 716 high-efficiency, 470-watt solar modules expected to produce more than 12 million kilowatt-hours over a quarter-century — larger than MLB’s other seven solar installations combined, the company said. The San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox are among the other organizations to use some solar power.
The renewable energy project is expected to save more than $4.
