Patriot Place to use 30% solar power BALTIMORE - Constellation Energy Group will build a photovoltaic system to generate solar power at an entertainment complex adjacent to the New England Patriots’ stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The system will produce about 525 kilowatts at Patriot Place, the 1.3-million-square-foot entertainment, retail, and dining complex next to the NFL team’s Gillette Stadium. Topping seven roofs, the power system will supply about 30 percent of Patriot Place’s power. Construction is expected to begin in late October and will require installation of about 2,800 photovoltaic panels. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the year, a spokesman said. Constellation Energy estimates the system will prevent the release of more than 8,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide - the equivalent of removing more than 1,600 cars from the road for a year. © Copyright 2009 Globe Newspaper Company. boston.com
