Baltimore, Maryland, December 3, 2025
The Baltimore Ravens are set to enhance sustainability at M&T Bank Stadium with the installation of solar panels. Approved by the Maryland Stadium Authority, the project will utilize renewable energy generated for internal use. Partnering with Lumina Solar Inc., the Ravens will assume full financial responsibility and maintain the system for 20 to 25 years, building on their previous green initiatives.
Baltimore Ravens to Install Solar Panels at M&T Bank Stadium Complex
Baltimore, Maryland – The Baltimore Ravens have announced plans to install solar panels at M&T Bank Stadium, aiming to enhance the stadium’s sustainability and energy efficiency. The Maryland Stadium Authority has approved the agreement, allowing the team to proceed with the installation on new North Plaza buildings and the entry canopy outside the stadium. The solar panels will connect to the stadium’s existing electrical grid, with all generated power used internally.
The Ravens have selected Lumina Solar Inc., based in Baltimore County, to design and install the system. The project is expected to have a useful life of 20–25 years. The team will assume full financial responsibility for the project, including construction, operations, and maintenance, and will indemnify and hold the Maryland Stadium Authority harmless from any costs, claims, or damages arising from the project’s design, construction, or operation. Maintenance will be handled by Lumina Solar’s subsidiary, Fusion Solar Services. After the 20–25 year period, the Ravens will be responsible for all costs associated with repairing, replacing, or removing the panels and for repairing any damage caused by their removal.
This initiative is part of the Ravens’ ongoing commitment to sustainability. In 2016, the team partnered with Constellation Energy to install a 400-kilowatt solar generation project at their headquarters and training facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. This system generates approximately 15% of the facility’s electricity needs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 317 tons annually. Additionally, M&T Bank Stadium has implemented energy-efficient LED lighting and a comprehensive recycling program, contributing to its LEED Gold certification for sustainability.
The installation of solar panels at M&T Bank Stadium is expected to further reduce the venue’s carbon footprint and provide substantial savings on electricity costs, aligning with the Ravens’ dedication to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
