Could Portman Road go solar?
Portman Road has been Ipswich Town's home since 1884, and today four stand roofs enclose the pitch. Measured across roughly 11,300 sq m, solar on the Portman Road roofs is estimated at a theoretical ~1.8 MW, with an annual 1.4–1.8 million kWh — about 590 Ipswich homes' worth. The estimate draws on fresh 2025 aerial imagery.
