Detecting available rooftop area from satellite images to install photovoltaic panels - LESO-PB Lab @ EPFL
This project helps urban planners, energy analysts, and solar panel installers quickly identify optimal rooftop areas for photovoltaic (PV) panel installation. It takes satellite or aerial images of buildings and outputs a clear map highlighting exactly where PV panels can be placed, excluding obstructions like chimneys or existing installations. This enables efficient assessment of solar energy potential across a city or region.
No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you need to rapidly assess and quantify the suitable rooftop area for solar panel installations across a large number of buildings from overhead imagery.
Not ideal if you require real-time, on-site analysis or if your primary need is detailed structural engineering assessment for panel placement.
