Integration of Solar Suitability data in a municipal GIS


Use of digital technology alleviates decision making by bringing together resource maps and data with any necessary information on land use, exclusion zones, municipal infrastructure etc. A GIS solar resource map allows for visualizing solar power potential combined with any other relevant spatial information in an effective way. The information on solar suitability assessments is compatible with a municipal GIS. It should be added to maps of street network, electricity grid, nearby meteorological stations, topography, property tax assessment etc. as an information layer important for energy supply planning. Availability of this information in a municipal GIS makes it easy to involve solar energy applications in the municipal decision-making.
