Last week, local authorities in Dresden, Germany, unveiled several new digital tools that would greatly help the city’s private residents adopt solar energy. Officials published two interactive maps of the city, one 3D and one flat, to give people an overview of the suitability of their houses for roof or façade photovoltaics. The maps were developed by the Leibniz Institute for Ecological Spatial Development Dresden using tools for solar potential analysis developed by the Chair of Geoinformatics at the Technical University of Munich. Anyone can use both resources and figure out the best way to integrate green energy into their building profile. With this, the city hopes to boost technology adoption by offering residents clear cost-benefit terms.
