Solar Cadaster in Urban Area Including Verticality
Abstract
Solar cadaster, including the potential of solar production on vertical surface, and shading in urban region is to be done. However most of existing solar cadaster are providing year global solar irradiance in a horizontal surface. Not sufficient assessment for economical and urban energy planning. Possibility of shorter and dynamical time period simulation has to be accessible. Moreover, in comparison with roof, building façades are representing big potential for solar PV integration even if inclination is not optimal. Archelios map® developed by Cythelia Energy is used to generate a solar cadaster, which can then be incorporated into the local authority’s geographic information system (GIS) and/or uploaded to its website. For now, Archelios map® takes into account the brute solar radiation on a horizontal surface. The main objective is to ameliorate this model so it gives a solar cadaster including solar potential on facades by considering the inter buildings effect and the urban environment climate so we can increase the solar power generation.
