Brazil's Solar Stadiums

The venue for the World Cup final is Estádio do Maracanã (Maracanã Stadium). It features 1,556 solar panels - enough to to power 240 homes.

Quite a few of the stadiums now have solar. It's reducing the carbon footprint of the world cup - and also offering a solution to Brazil's energy crisis.

Brazil's world cup stadiums will provide more than 5.4 megawatts of solar energy - more than any world cup before

5.4 megawatts means a total of about 21,000 solar panels. Enough to power thousands of homes. Go Brazil!
