Could Amex Stadium go solar?

Set against the South Downs at Falmer, the Amex Stadium is roofed by two sweeping arches over its east and west stands — and it enjoys the sunniest position of any ground here, near 1,166 hours a year. Solar across Brighton's ~18,700 sq m of roof could reach a theoretical ~2.8 MW and an estimated 2.5–3.1 million kWh, around 1,040 homes' worth.
