New Sacramento arena aims to be ‘greenest professional sports stadium ever’

The Golden 1 Center, a multi-purpose indoor arena currently in construction in Sacramento, CA, is making waves in the renewable community.

A large part of the arena’s design revolves around solar power.   A rooftop solar array will be installed by Solar Power Inc. at a cost of $2.5 million and will generate 700 kilowatts. Installing solar power is part of the Sacramento Kings ownership’s goal to have its new sports and entertainment center be the most technologically advanced arena in the country, and that includes being efficient and using renewable energy.
