Could The City Ground go solar?
The City Ground reads from above as four separate stand roofs — Google maps each as its own building — so our figure is the sum of those reads: room for roughly 3,200 panels, about 1.3 MW, across Nottingham Forest's Trentside home. A loose whole-ground estimate rather than one clean measurement, and labelled as such.
