Could Elland Road go solar?

Home to Leeds United since 1919, Elland Road isn't a single continuous roof but four distinct stand roofs facing in around the pitch. Taken together they cover roughly 18,000 sq m — enough, in theory, for a ~3 MW full-roof solar array. That would put an estimated 2.3–2.8 million kWh within reach each year, comparable to about 950 Leeds homes.
