Overview
- Germany’s Rekordinstitut Deutschland has officially certified the array as the most powerful PV system on any stadium roof worldwide.
- Delivered with energy company RWE under a six-year sustainability partnership, the project is billed by club leaders as a milestone in BVB’s decarbonization plan.
- The installation displaces the previous record, a 4.2 MW rooftop array on a stadium in Turkey.
- A 3.7 MWh battery is slated for early 2026 to store daytime solar output for use when sunlight is unavailable.
- The new system replaces a prior, smaller PV setup at Signal Iduna Park, aligning with a broader move to equip German stadiums with rooftop solar.
