The Premier League club have submitted proposals to make some big changes to the top of their huge stadium in north London
Spurs have submitted an application to Haringey Council to install around 3,800 solar panels to the roof of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Premier League club submitted the proposals last month with the hope of the London-based solar specialists Solivus beginning work in September and completing the installation by the end of the year. The plan is to cover an inner and outer ring of the stadium's glass roof as well as the Sky Walk with the solar panels and associated mounting hardware to ensure Spurs ' huge home can generate its own clean electricity to meet net-zero ambitions.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium already contains its own battery storage system, designed by Altus Energy, which makes for major economic savings and power resiliency on match and event days, while leveraging backup generators to sell power back to the grid while creating new revenue streams.
That storage system reduced energy costs to the club by more than 40 per cent and also cut the release of toxic Green House Gas emissions by more than half.
Now the stadium, which has been open since 2019, could have almost 4,000 solar panels to keep up with Tottenham's training ground, Hotspur Way, which already includes such panels around the Enfield complex.

Spurs signed up to the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework 'Race to Zero' and committed to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and become net-zero by 2040. They became the first club in the Premier League to deliver sustainability training sessions to all their players across the men's and women's first teams and academy groups.
The north London club also established an ecological habitat at the training centre, including trees, new plants and hedgerows, bug hotels and bat houses, wildlife ponds, green roofs and those solar panels.
