Canadian Solar has become a sponsor of U.S. Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants. The Giants’ home ground, the AT&T Park, was also the first Major League ballpark to receive U.S Green Building Council certification for leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) for existing buildings, operations and maintenance (EBO&M). The baseball team has also led activities in water and energy efficiency, including the use of solar electricity.
As part of the partnership, Canadian Solar and the Giants will launch the “Score with Canadian Solar” sweepstakes where baseball and solar fans can enter to win Giants tickets, authentic Major League baseballs autographed by a current Giants player and free solar installation quotes.

This elite organization, whose leading green business practices are in line with our own, is not only our local baseball team but also our partner in furthering the adoption of renewable energy and sustainability,” said Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar. “In fact, AT&T Park is one of the greenest ballparks in the country.
