SOLAR SUITABILITY MAPPING

Solar panels and other renewable energies are set to become more commonplace. With rising energy costs and the realisation that many of our natural resources are dwindling, the focus on finding renewable and sustainable sources of energy has never been greater. Bluesky’s Solar Suitability Mapping provides the unique ability to identify solar energy potential right down to individual property level.

Using a combination of our accurate, high resolution National aerial photography, height data, and solar irradiation information, we can compile the key solar suitability statistics of any property, including roof orientation, roof pitch, useable roof area and potential solar panel array size. All presented as a solar panel suitability map, showing the solar potential for individual roofs.

All of our Solar Mapping is linked to the most up to date Ordnance Survey address database, allowing the full address data for each assessed property to be identified. The product is designed in an open format to allow a wider spectrum of users to access and utilise this data. Whether you use MS Excel, GIS, SQL or Google Earth, we can help you identify and unlock the solar potential of the built environment around you.
