Could Selhurst Park go solar?
Selhurst Park is a patchwork of mixed-era stand roofs around Crystal Palace's pitch, and its usable roof area is modest — roughly 3,200 sq m. That puts a full-roof solar array at a theoretical ~503 kWp, with an estimated 390,000–480,000 kWh a year, or about 160 south London homes' worth of electricity.
