Solar panels to provide about 41 percent of Infineon’s energy usage

Infineon Raceway, in partnership with Panasonic, has installed 1,652 solar panels that will cover 41 percent of the raceway's energy usage.

In a further move designed to reduce energy consumption, Panasonic has also provided the raceway with a low-energy LED video board, replacing the current installation on Highway 37. The IZOD IndyCar Series makes its annual trip to the Sonoma Valley circuit on Aug. 26-28.
