Could Emirates Stadium go solar?
The Emirates Stadium sits under a broad, continuous roof ring wrapped around Arsenal's bowl in north London — around 18,800 sq m of it. Given the capital's decent ~1,010 sunshine hours, a full-roof solar array here is estimated at a theoretical ~2.9 MW, generating an annual 2.3–2.8 million kWh, comparable to roughly 940 households.
