Hanwha SolarOne, a top-10 global photovoltaic manufacturer of
high-quality, cost-competitive solar modules and the official solar
partner of the San Francisco Giants, awarded Hunter Pence as “Mr.
Energy of the Year powered by Hanwha” before the start of a recent
home game. Hanwha SolarOne celebrated the powerful season of Pence
with a donation to the Junior Giant Program.

Junior Giants, the flagship program of the non-profit Giants
Community Fund, is a free, non-competitive and innovative baseball
program that gives at-risk kids ages 5-18 an alternative to drugs,
gangs and crime. Celebrating its 20th year, the Junior Giants
program now reaches over 21,000 children in 90 leagues across
California and into Nevada and Oregon.
“Inspired by Mr. Energy of the Year Pence’s impressive season,
Hanwha SolarOne was motivated to give more Bay Area youngsters the
chance to pursue sports as an outlet for achievement,” said Steve
Kang, president of Hanwha SolarOne USA. “This partnership also
builds on Hanwha SolarOne’s mission to educate children about
environmental responsibility.”
Throughout the 2014 season, fans were invited to vote for the
Mr. Energy of the Month. One voter was chosen each month to win a
Grand Slam Prize Package, which included an autographed jersey and
baseball, a solar cellphone charger and a $200 Visa gift card.
After all the votes were tallied, Pence was named Mr. Energy of the
Year in a home plate ceremony before the start of the game on
September 25, 2014. Hanwha SolarOne subsequently donated one dollar
for every vote cast in the Mr. Energy campaign to the Junior Giants
Program.
“The Giants are proud of our partnership with Hanwha SolarOne
and our shared commitment to serving and supporting Bay Area
youth,” said Jason Pearl, managing vice president of sponsorship
for the San Francisco Giants.
To energize and improve the lives of Giants fans and all Bay
Area residents, Hanwha SolarOne has built on the Giants’ legacy of
environmental responsibility through a series of green initiative
campaigns, including a solar photovoltaic installation at AT&T
Park, a Hanwha-branded, sun-shaped LED sign above left field which
displays how far a home run ball travels and sponsorship of the
Giants’ in-game recycling Green Team, which enters the stands of
AT&T Park at the end of the seventh inning to collect
recyclables and to remind fans to recycle at home.
