The Nef Stadium at the Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex, in Istanbul, Turkey recently broke the Guinness World Record for the most powerful solar power output from a sports facility. It is home to the capital’s football team Galatasaray SK.
Built over an area of 40,000 square metres, the massive 4.2MW rooftop solar farm, was both financed and installed by Enerjisa Enerji, part of the E.ON Group . It comprises more than 10,000 solar panels and generates renewable electricity equivalent to the amount consumed by 2,000 homes, saving 3,250 tons of CO2 emissions every year.
