St. Louis hits it out of the ball park with solar energy


Nothing says baseball like hot dogs, home runs and solar energy. Well at least in St. Louis that is. The Cardinals have partnered with Microgrid Energy, the Electrical Connection and Sachs Electric to utilize solar energy at Busch Stadium. Two solar arrays- of 106 total panels have been installed on the roof of the ticket building and a on top of a canopy in the left centerfield bleachers. The array will produce 32,000 kilowatt hours of energy each year, help reduce the stadium's energy costs, and help the Cards go a little greener.
