There is an urgent need in including solar energy component into sustainable municipal planning practices, and Green Power Labs has a solution for municipalities to address the existing information gap in solar deployment. Green Power Labs develops interactive decision support systems for municipal solar applications. Our Solar Energy Suitability Assessment and Applications Planning (SAAP) services are developed as an integral part of the decision support for sustainable energy development in municipal planning. They give municipal planners an advanced tool to evaluate the applicability of solar energy technologies to existing and future buildings.

The Green Power Labs’ Solar Energy SAAP is a unique service. It incorporates georeferenced modeling of urban landscapes based on aerophoto surveys and physical modeling of solar irradiation for solar suitability assessment purposes. The SAAP service provides municipal planners with the information on solar energy resource availability on several levels, taking into consideration natural, technical and socioeconomic limitations for solar projects ... read more
