/ PLATFORM FOR SOLAR POTENTIAL – SOLARPOTENTIALID
"Harness solar energy with SolarPotentialID"
05
The SolarPotentialID platform allows users to assess the technical potential for installing solar power plants on building rooftops and to find the most suitable locations for larger standalone solar power plants. Users can search for individual buildings within the platform by addressing and evaluating the rooftop solar energy potential, choosing between self-consumption or the full roof potential for energy production.
The platform is designed to assess the technical potential of rooftop solar power plants across Slovenia. It uses a digital surface model with a spatial resolution of 1 metre, created from a LiDAR point cloud that includes terrain, vegetation, and objects. This allows for a three-dimensional representation of the surface with all the obstacles that cause shading, reducing the solar radiation received on each roof surface. The platform calculates the annual irradiation energy in kWh/m² for each square metre of surface, calibrated using satellite and meteorological data.
In addition to assessing rooftop potential, the system identifies suitable locations for large-scale standalone solar power plants, typically installed in degraded areas. It considers land use, accessibility, proximity to existing infrastructure, and solar exposure to find the best locations. Users can set criteria such as the plant's peak power, distance to the nearest transformer station, road access, land use, and ownership and receive a set of potentially suitable sites.

Technical potential assessment: Users can evaluate the potential for rooftop solar power plants based on annual electricity consumption or the entire roof's potential for electricity production.
Building search: Search for individual buildings by address to assess their potential for installing solar power plants.
Criteria-based inquiry: Identification of buildings suitable for solar power plant installation based on criteria such as rated peak power capacity, building use, ownership, roof type, heritage protection, and the age of the building and roof.
Locations for stand-alone solar power plants: Identification of suitable areas for large-scale solar power plants based on land use, accessibility, proximity to infrastructure, and other factors.
Area selection: Users can draw a polygon on a map and obtain information on the area's suitability for a solar power plant, including the calculated rated power capacity and estimated annual electricity production.
FUNCTIONALITIES
The SolarPotential ID platform is designed for various user needs and scenarios:
Municipal planning: Municipalities can use the platform to identify optimal rooftops and locations for solar power plants, contributing to sustainable energy planning and development.
Energy providers: Companies can assess the potential for installing solar power plants on their buildings, increasing energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.
Investors: Investors can use the platform to identify potential locations for investing in larger standalone solar power plants.
Residential users: Homeowners can assess the potential for installing solar panels on their roofs, tailored to their specific energy needs.
