Could Hard Rock Stadium go solar?

Cover the entire square shade canopy at Hard Rock Stadium with panels and the roof could carry roughly 19,800 modules — about 7.9 MW. Sitting over the Miami Dolphins' bowl in Miami Gardens and drawing on around 1,738 sunshine hours a year, that theoretical array might generate an estimated 10.7–13.2 million kWh annually, comparable to roughly 4,400 local homes. A measured look at what the Hard Rock Stadium roof could hold.
