Patriot Place, the 1.3 million-square-foot shopping complex adjacent to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, will install a solar photovoltaic system powered by panels made by Evergreen Solar Inc.
The Marlborough solar company (Nasdaq: ESLR) will provide roughly 2,800 panels to the 525-kilowatt installation over the roofs of seven buildings in the complex. Fans going to New England Patriots games will be able to see the system on the roof of The Hall at Patriot Place, a Patriots-themed museum. The system will provide approximately 30 percent of the power used to run the complex over the next 30 years.
The complex, owned by Kraft Group affiliate NPP Development LLC, incorporated several other green attributes into its design, including sustainable construction materials, wastewater re-use systems and solar-powered trash receptacles.
“This project is crucial to Patriot Place’s overall sustainability initiatives, and we are proud to promote practical and cost-effective commercial applications of solar power,” said Patriot Place General Manager Brian Earley in a statement.
