Rooftop Solar Energy Potential Assessment Using GIS and Remote Sensing
Jameer Sheik
ABSTRACT Urban areas offer significant potential for rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment due to the availability of unused roof spaces and high solar radiation levels. This study aims to assess the rooftop solar energy potential of Chromepet, Chennai using GIS-based spatial analysis and open-source geospatial datasets. Building footprint data obtained from OpenStreetMap and elevation data derived from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) were used to calculate rooftop areas, slope, and aspect...
