"Power Company plugs into Giants"

In an article that i read in the Mercury News on Tuesday March 20, 2007, it states that the Giant stadium is not going to have solar panels. The article says that "the Giants will be the first major league baseball ranchise to install solar panels on their stadium." There will be about 590 solar panels that are going to be installed and it will generate enough electricy They will be installed starting in April and should be finished within about two months. The situation is unusual however, PG &E will purchase and pay to install an maintain the panels. In a way, the Giants Statium will be like a solar billboard. Oddly enough, PG&E is not the normal provider. Though the Giants are the first major league team, they are not the first team to do this. By using solar power, the Giants are hoping that it will help educate people about alternate power options.
