UPSToday. - This is one of information to you about the solar power with the article titled with Online tool developed at UNSW to calculate solar power potential of rooftops in Australian cities that written by Priyankar Bhunia.
The Australian Photovoltaics Institute (APVI) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a new online platform that can be used to calculate the solar power potential of any rooftop in Australian cities. The SunSPoT online tool has been developed with technology partners Solar Analytics and Enosi Pty Ltd, as part of the Energy Data for Smart Decision Making project, funded by the Australian Government’s Smart Cities and Suburbs program.
The platform is expected to help residents, councils and businesses make better decisions about investment in solar power.
SunSPoT uses geographical information systems data to estimate the technical potential of rooftop solar. The tool accounts for solar radiation and weather at the site; PV (photovoltaic) system area, tilt, orientation; and shading from nearby buildings and vegetation.
3D building and vegetation models from AAM, a leading spatial information technology provider and Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather data from the US Department of Energy Simulation Software Weather Data webpage are used to calculate average annual and monthly incident solar radiation on a building surface and the expected performance of a typical PV system of the size specified by the user, with PV panel orientation and tilt defaulting to that of the roof surface, or defined by the user.
The platform can already be used online to assess solar potential on specific rooftops in early-adopter local government areas that are already project partners, including Ku-ring-gai, Willoughby, Randwick, Northern Beaches and Lane Cove. More cities and towns will be added as the program expands.
