Could Villa Park go solar?
Villa Park frames its pitch with four large stand roofs rather than one ring, and together they present roughly 18,000 sq m to the Birmingham sky. Fully clad in panels, solar on the Villa Park roofs is estimated at a theoretical ~2.9 MW — an annual 2.1–2.6 million kWh, or the rough equivalent of around 870 Aston Villa-area homes.
