A 297-Panel Solar Energy System for MGM Music Hall at Fenway.

Dec. 06, 2022

The MGM Music Hall at Fenway is officially open for business! The 5,000-capacity indoor venue is roughly twice the size of the iconic House of Blues and is expected to become an epicenter for the performing arts in Massachusetts. 

The new MGM Music Hall at Fenway brings more jobs, music, arts, culture, and community to Boston, and it also brings greater sustainability. The venue will be powered by a 297-panel commercial solar energy system designed and installed by Boston Solar, a Proud Partner of the Boston Red Sox. 

A Multi-Section Solar Array Maximizes Rooftop Space at MGM Music Hall at Fenway 

The MGM Music Hall at Fenway presented an exciting opportunity for innovative solar engineering and Boston Solar stepped up to the challenge by maximizing the available space. The final design features 297 solar PV panels arranged in two sections on the venue’s roof, utilizing 8,963 square feet of space. 

Premium Hanwha 480 panels were chosen for the project due, in part, to their optimal size. These commercial solar panels are slightly larger than the average PV panel, allowing for greater output with fewer panels. 

The System Will Produce 158,766 kWh in Its First Year

The rooftop solar system at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway will allow the venue to produce much of its own power, minimizing its reliance on the Massachusetts electric grid. It will also provide solar benefits to nearby Fenway Park. We are optimistic that the collaboration between the MGM Music Hall at Fenway and the Red Sox ballpark will help pave the way for more creative and innovative use of solar energy in stadiums and entertainment venues throughout the country. 

The system is expected to produce 158,766 kWh of electricity in its first year. That’s the equivalent of 113 metric tons of C02 or: 

  • Carbon sequestered by 1,860 tree seedlings grown for ten years 
  • Carbon sequestered by 138 acres of us forests in one year 
  • Greenhouse gas emissions avoided by 38.3 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled 
  • 4,787 trash bags of waste recycled instead of landfilled
