Baker Electric completes a groundbreaking 797 kW solar and 1.14 MWh battery storage project at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, CA, contributing to sustainability and community impact. This collaboration delivers a clean energy solution set to power events while reducing CO₂ emissions.
OCEANSIDE, Calif., July 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Baker Electric is proud to announce the completion of a 797 kW solar and 1.14 MWh battery storage project at the newly launched Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. In collaboration with DSD Renewables, Mayfield Renewables, and the Frontwave Arena development team, this project reflects Baker Electric's commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community connection.
The rooftop solar and battery energy storage system, comprising 1,350 panels, will generate an estimated 1.25 million kWh of clean energy per year, offsetting approximately 825 metric tons of CO₂ annually, the equivalent of removing 196 gas-powered vehicles from the road.
"This project is a powerful example of what happens when the right partners come together under a shared vision," said Scott Williams, Executive Vice President at Baker Electric. "Together with DSD, Mayfield Renewables, and the Frontwave team, we've delivered more than just renewable infrastructure. We've created an energy-smart venue that will benefit the community for years to come."
Frontwave Arena, home to the San Diego Sockers and NBA G League's San Diego Clippers, was designed not just as a world-class entertainment venue, but also as a beacon of sustainability. With water conservation, waste reduction, and emission-reducing infrastructure built into its foundation, the arena sets a new benchmark for environmentally responsible development in California.
"From the beginning, our mission was to create a best-in-class venue that fosters community and environmental stewardship," said Josh Elias, CEO and Cofounder of Frontwave Arena. "With Baker Electric and DSD's support, we've realized that vision in a way that will inspire others."
This high-impact project is part of Baker Electric's broader mission to deliver integrated energy solutions that advance economic and environmental outcomes across California and beyond. As a member of DSD's Developer Network, Baker Electric brought deep commercial-industrial EPC experience and local expertise to the design and installation phases. DSD will manage the long-term ownership and operation of the systems, and Mayfield Renewables contributed specialized engineering expertise to help bring the project to life.
"We're incredibly proud to have been part of this transformative project," added Katherine Lillydahl, Senior Account Executive at DSD. "It's a win for the region, for the environment, and for the thousands of patrons who will visit the arena each year."
