San Francisco Giants – play solar ball!
After a some what typical fall foggy start in San Francisco, the sun burned through the clouds, and a fun game was enjoyed by all. In the next couple of weeks, we hope to share some stories from those that attended the game…but in the meantime, we just had to share a few pictures.
Yesterday PG&E sponsored the second annual Giants Solar Day with the San Francisco Giants. 20,000 thousand fans received a commemorative PG&E Giants Solar Day hat, and hopefully had some solar energy seeds planted for our energy future.
As a part of the event, PG&E and the Giants recognized PG&E’s solar efforts-
- PG&E leads the nation in grid-connected PV, and is third in the world when it comes to installed solar capacity, and
- The PG&E Solar Schools Program is now in our third year- our kids got to take the bases and meet real Giants!
Together, we hoped to swing a few more fan’s hearts and minds towards solar energy in their own schools, homes, and businesses. There was also a lot of information on energy efficiency actions people can take immediately- everyone can save a little energy and $ while preparing for a solar energy installation…in fact, it makes all our energy go further.
California is aggressively pursuing a ten year California Solar Initiative, and the Governor recently signed the Million Solar Roofs Initiative into action. We hope our schools, and the communities in which our projects occur, will be a part of catalyzing the success of ambitious solar efforts around the state, country, and world.
If there are any other baseball teams out there looking to bring new energy, and fans to their ballpark…if you have a favorite team…let us know! Play ball! We’re working on our solar energy rally for next year.
