The stadium solar league table
Every famous British ground we could measure from above, ranked by the solar its roof could hold. Between them: roughly 63.0 MWp of unused roof capacity — around 20,024 homes' worth of electricity, sitting above the season tickets.
For scale: Principality Stadium's roof alone fits more panels than the bottom 6 grounds in the table combined.
Premier League 2026–27
The 2026–27 top flight, ranked by roof capacity. Two rows carry honest asterisks: Old Trafford is an outline estimate (Google fragments its roof, so we hand-measured the stand area from the satellite) and the City Ground is the sum of its four stands. Everton's new Bramley-Moore ground post-dates the aerial imagery entirely — no figure until Google catches up.
