Could Craven Cottage go solar?

Perched on the Thames, Craven Cottage gained a major roof with the rebuilt Riverside Stand, and that's where much of its solar potential now sits. Fulham's ~8,900 sq m of roofing could carry a theoretical ~1.5 MW array, producing an estimated 1.3–1.6 million kWh a year — comparable to about 530 riverside homes.
