Could Estadio Azteca go solar?

Estadio Azteca opens the 2026 tournament in Mexico City, though the aerial here predates its renovation. The concrete ring roof over the stands spans roughly 7,700 square metres; covered in panels it could hold about 1,900 modules, near 768 kWp. Bathed in some 1,938 sunshine hours a year, a full-roof array on this historic ground might generate an estimated 1.2–1.4 million kWh, around 490 homes.
