Building a Solar City requires a comprehensive knowledge base with all information needed for solar planning. The completeness of this knowledge base, the visualization tools and the documentation used to present and interpret the information, in fact, determine the perspectives, the scale and the efficiency of deployment of solar applications. Solar energy knowledge base is especially critical for urban environments because of various obstructions for solar irradiation to reach solar collectors. When solar applications are planned at a large scale, it is critical to maximize energy production from each solar collector installed. A detailed knowledge of various factors affecting the final solar gain becomes imperative. Green Power Labs’ SolarStar Rating gives decision-makers an advanced tool to evaluate the applicability of solar energy technologies to existing and future buildings. This knowledge facilitates decision-making in both short term and long term municipal planning, and allows for controlling and tracking the implementation of solar deployment strategies.
