Solar Power Contracted to Power 2 Los Angeles Landmarks
Aug 12, 2008

Solar Power Inc. has entered into a design build agreement with venue owner-operators AEG to design and install photovoltaic solar systems for two sports and entertainment venues -- STAPLES Center and NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE. STAPLES Center serves as home to the L.A. Lakers, L.A. Clippers, L.A. Kings, L.A. Avengers and the L.A. Sparks. NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE, which opened in October, 2007 is located directly across the street from the arena within the new L.A. LIVE sports, residential and entertainment district. Additionally, Solar Power will be installing their own line of PV solar modules featuring premium cells manufactured by Motech Industries Inc. When completed, the systems will deliver a combined 512 kilowatts of power, reducing the venues’ utility-sourced electricity requirements and advancing AEG’s sustainable energy practices. Installation of the first system is scheduled to begin at the STAPLES Center in early October.
