Could K2 Crawley Leisure Centre go solar?

A leisure centre with a pool is a steady, thirsty user of power — pumps, heating and lights running through the day. K2 Crawley, the council's 2005 centre on Pease Pottage Hill, spreads a broad flat roof across roughly 11,900 square metres. We estimate that could hold around 1.8 MW of solar and some 4,600 panels, for an estimated 1.5 to 1.9 million kWh a year. Full-roof figures.
