摘要:Solar technologies offer clean and sustainable energy production at an affordable cost.Therefore, their use is rapidly growing, and private users as well as local authorities demonstratewide interest in identifying areas suitable for mounting solar modules. The recentimprovements of remote sensing techniques such as LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging),are very attractive and suitable for solar potential assessment; however, it is of paramountimportance to transfer the knowledge to the public. The proposed solution includesthe development of an interactive tool, Solar WebGIS, which can analyse and visualizesolar potential characteristics. Furthermore, the article discusses the data preparation, integration,and visualization issue related to the WebGIS.
