What is it about?

Here we present an Integrated model for urban solar mapping combining solar resource and energy system.

Why is it important?

Clearly solar mapping tools may give too optimistic values for the solar potential. Adding the energy infrastructure & city topology gives a much more realistic view on how cities could employ solar energy

Perspectives

Understanding energy system integration (limitations) is key for understanding the potential of solar and wind in urban context
