Maximizing the Value of Solar at Frontwave Arena
Read on: Maximizing the Value of Solar at Frontwave ArenaWhen you’re planning a 7,500-seat arena in an area with high electricity rates and a lot of sunshine, it’s a good idea to start thinking about solar panels and storage systems.

A large rooftop solar array paired with a sizable energy storage system now allows Frontwave Arena to maximize the economic value of solar and operate sustainably — all while ensuring a great fan experience for everyone attending San Diego Sockers and Clippers home games, as well as concerts and community events.
