Los Angeles is set to host the 2028 Olympic Games, with Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine serving as the venue for Olympic baseball. Transforming this iconic ballpark into a fully green-powered facility—and turning its vast parking lots into sources of clean energy—could position LA as a global showcase for a Solartopian future.
It would hugely further the massive green energy conversion that’ll define human survival.
AND…it’ll lower both the very high electric rates and soaring temperatures that threaten our city.
Here’s the bottom line: with currently available technology, solarizing Dodger Stadium could be done within three years, as canopy costs drop and electric rates rise.
Available battery back-ups can keep the park lit for night games. AND help meet the city’s prime time power needs.
Solar canopy technology is now widely used in both urban and agricultural settings (where it’s known as “agri-voltaic”) .
Numerous parking lots throughout the world are now being covered.
