I applaud this. I am very pro-solar power.
Commanders installing solar panels at FedEx
7/13/2011 1:25:11 PM
Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports the Washington Commanders are installing 8,000 solar panels in a FedEx Field parking lot that will generate enough electricity to supply a portion of the stadium’s power on game days and all of its electricity the rest of the week, according to people with knowledge of the organization’s plans.
Construction is underway in the team’s Platinum A1 parking lot to set up panels that will generate two megawatts of electricity — enough to decrease FedEx Field’s annual energy use by 15 percent, according to people within the organization. The panels also will be used to create an 850-space covered carport that will feature 10 charging stations for electric vehicles.
The construction is part of a nine-year agreement with a Princeton, N.J., firm, NRG Energy, which owns and operates one of the country’s largest and most diverse power generation portfolios. The company will install three different types of solar panels at the stadium. The cost of the effort could not be ascertained Tuesday.
