Could Turf Moor go solar?

Few grounds are older than Turf Moor, where Burnley have played since the 1880s, and it shows in a patchwork of stand roofs from different eras. Together they cover a modest ~2,900 sq m — room for about 1,200 solar panels and roughly 490 kWp. Our full-roof estimate lands at 310,000–380,000 kWh a year, on the order of 130 homes.
