The city’s municipality has created an online solar map which provides the first ever estimation of the solar possibilities for every rooftop in Budapest. Using the solar map as its first step, the ultimate goal of the project is to increase the use of solar energy across the city, leading to greater production of clean electricity and a significant reduction in urban carbon emissions. “Using the latest 3D technology, the map can tell people, house by house, how much of the surface of their roof is useful, what size the panels on their roof could be, what capacity and how much energy they can produce,” says Ámon. “The map has huge potential for supporting Budapest’s rapid transition away from fossils fuels, towards a prosperous, climate neutral future with increased security of supply.”
