Abstract:
Over recent years, photovoltaic systems have become increasingly popular for the installation on buildings’ rooftops. One of the main questions for investors is to find which rooftop is suitable for photovoltaic system installation in order produce maximum electrical energy. This paper presents Geographic Information System (GIS) for the solar and photovoltaic potential estimation for a whole municipality. The presented GIS consists of a server environment, web application, and mobile application. The developed application was successfully deployed within a regional project for the Municipality of Beltinci in Slovenia.
