Could Sainsbury's Archer Road Superstore go solar?
Sainsbury's Archer Road superstore, on the Millhouses and Heeley side of Sheffield, spreads a large flat roof of about 8,500 sqm. We measured roughly 3,100 panels, around 1.24 MW, which could generate an estimated 0.87–1.05 million kWh a year — in the region of 356 homes. A survey would confirm the part of the roof worth fitting.
