Solar array will generate power, business for Salt Palace Convention Center

A new solar energy array atop the Salt Palace Convention Center is growing by 200 panels a day and will produce about 17 percent of the convention center's energy once completed this spring.

The 1.65 megawatt solar array is promoted as the largest in Utah and will cover 198,000 square feet when finished, about the size of five football fields.

Its functions include turning sunlight into energy — and business. Deseret News
