Could Tewkesbury Abbey go solar?

Tewkesbury Abbey is one of England's great Norman abbey churches, its steep pitched roof running over the nave to a commanding central tower. We only have a roof-size read here, not a full solar estimate: the roof covers roughly 3,700 sq m. It's Grade I listed medieval fabric, so this is purely a measure of scale — no generation figure and no proposal attached.
