Dominion to install more than 1,700 solar panels on CarMax Park

Dominion (D) announced that it plans to install a solar array on the roof and parking lot of the Richmond Flying Squirrels’ future stadium. After the Flying Squirrels’ 2026 season, Dominion Energy plans to install more than 1,700 solar panels on CarMax Park’s two-tiered roof, in addition to five solar-covered carports in an adjacent parking lot. The installation is expected to be among the largest in all of professional baseball, including both the major and minor leagues. It will require local and state approval. The solar installation will generate about 1 megawatt of carbon-free electricity, enough to power 250 Richmond homes at peak output. The stadium project will also count toward the company’s goal of using previously developed land for some power generation projects.
