Could Vitality Stadium go solar?

The smallest ground in this set, Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium sits under four compact stand roofs totalling only around 3,000 sq m. Even so, a full-roof solar array is estimated at a theoretical ~406 kWp, and the sunny south-coast position — near 1,093 hours a year — lifts output to an estimated 340,000–420,000 kWh, about 140 homes' worth.
