Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians and Green Energy Ohio partnered on a solar electric system at Jacobs Field – the first American League ballpark to go solar. The installation provides 8.4 kilowatts of clean, renewable electricity and introduces solar energy concepts to millions in Northeast Ohio.
Commissioned back in June, the array of 42 solar panels on the south-facing upper deck concourse of Jacobs Field is just as powerful as the wind farm in Somerset, if less obvious to the casual observer.
The panels collect enough solar energy to power 135 homes each day, equal to avoiding the global warming pollution that an average passenger car emits over 306 days.
