Building provincial/regional renewable energy strategies is not an easy task…Assessing the variety of resources, developing renewable portfolio standards, analyzing technical and socioeconomic limitations of renewable energies deployment, identifying existing barriers for solar deployment for communities, solar industry and individual customers, establishing policies and implementing deployment strategies…. All these important needs require comprehensive and effective decision support.

This is when Green Power Labs comes to the scene. With its extensive and in-depth knowledge of solar energy resources, technologies and applications, the company has lots to offer to government departments and agencies in charge of sustainable energy development. Our GIS-based digital solar maps allow for understanding the trend of distribution of solar resource potential across a province/region, the average insolation characteristics for a region, and facilitate decision-making about the deployment of solar applications in different parts of the region. Our solar maps also incorporate comprehensive information about regional energy consumption and generation infrastructure intended to make solar maps an integral part of regional development planning. They are an important component of evaluating prospective financial mechanisms for solar deployment - feed-in tariffs/energy-based production incentives, long term financing, purchase/installation incentives.

Based on the sophisticated solar irradiation modeling, our GIS-based digital solar resource maps are unique. Combining advanced solar climate data with a versatile industry database, our solar maps serve as an outstanding decision support tool for renewable energy policies and strategies development.
