Could Stamford Bridge go solar?
Hemmed into west London, Stamford Bridge is more than stand roofs — Chelsea's ground shares its footprint with hotel and venue buildings, and all of it counts toward the roof area. Across roughly 12,400 sq m, a full-roof solar array is estimated at a theoretical ~1.6 MW, generating an annual 1.3–1.6 million kWh, around 550 homes' worth.
