The application of 3D models for Mapping the potential for solar Photovoltaic Systems in urban areas

Mostafa Azizkhani

Solar energy is the key to a clean energy future. Using the urban environment and rooftops of the buildings is a way which governments use for increasing the generation of solar energy. For solar potential mapping of urban areas two types of information is required: first, the solar irradiance reaches to the rooftop of the building and second, a 3D model of the building. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a technology for 3D modelling of building. LiDAR is a method for measuring the distances to objects using laser light and can make digital 3D representations of the objects using point cloud data. methodology for the assessment of solar potential using solar maps and financial analysis which applied by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Earth Observation (EO) tools. The presentation will cover methodology for the assessment of solar potential using solar maps and financial analysis which applied by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Earth Observation (EO) tools. It also will focus on challenges of working with big LiDAR point cloud datasets.
