Solar energy solutions for sports arena

Why would sports stadiums and arenas benefit from solar energy?

Shawton Energy partners with sports stadiums and arenas to harness solar power through the installation of fully funded, high-quality Solar PV systems, utilising available rooftop space. We partner with the world’s top solar technology providers, ensuring reliability and peace of mind for our clients.

Sports stadiums often have extensive unused roof space and consume large amounts of electricity during game days, training sessions, and non-sporting events. By converting this space into a renewable energy source, we help stadiums reduce both costs and their environmental impact.
