Could Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum go solar?
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum wears one of Glasgow's grandest rooflines — ornate red-sandstone gables and pitches over 6,800 sq m. The measured full-roof potential is around 872 kWp, roughly 2,180 panels and 560,000–680,000 kWh a year, comparable to about 230 homes. It's a beloved civic landmark, so any panels would sit behind heritage consent and careful design.
