Could SoFi Stadium go solar?

SoFi Stadium's sweeping translucent canopy stretches over both bowl and plaza in Inglewood, and at around 1,981 sunshine hours a year it is one of the sunniest venues here. Fitted edge to edge, the SoFi Stadium roof — roughly 51,000 square metres — could carry about 16,650 panels, near 6.7 MW, for an estimated 10.5–12.8 million kWh a year, on the order of 4,300 homes.
