Sharp, San Francisco Giants use kiosk to push solar power
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Coinciding with growing interest in renewable energy among homeowners and businesses, Sharp Electronics Corp. and the San Francisco Giants Baseball Club have announced in a news release a sponsorship to promote solar power as an energy alternative. The sponsorship begins with the 2005 Major League Baseball season and will include prominent signage and a permanent solar demonstration at SBC Park. Complementing a highly visible Sharp Solar sign in left-center field, Sharp will install a 4.5Kw solar energy system on the roof adjacent to the Giants offices at SBC Park. The system will consist of 27 167-watt Sharp solar modules and is typical of the kind of system used on a standard California residence. The system will transfer energy directly into the ballpark's electrical grid. The system's electrical output will be monitored by a multimedia kiosk located in the left field concourse. Utilizing a touchscreen display, fans can access information about the system, learn how solar energy works and its benefits and request additional information about solar from Sharp.
