Could Molineux Stadium go solar?

Wolves have played at Molineux for well over a century, though the ground you see from above is thoroughly modern: four stand roofs framing the pitch across some 10,700 sq m. Fully covered, that could take around 3,650 solar panels and about 1.5 MW. We estimate 1.1–1.3 million kWh a year — roughly the yearly use of 450 Wolverhampton homes.
