Maximizing the Value of Solar at Frontwave Arena
Baker Electric
Learn more: 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.
That’s exactly what the team behind Frontwave Arena did when planning their multipurpose entertainment venue in the City of Oceanside, San Diego County. The arena’s specific location in El Corazon, a 465-acre district dedicated to habitat and recreation, led to another goal: Making the building as sustainable as possible.
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.
