City-scale facade solar potential through AIoT, GIS and meteorology synergy

Abstract

Facades offer far more surface than roofs in dense cities, yet most urban solar assessments stop at the rooftop. This talk combines street-view facade parsing, 3D building models and hourly meteorology to estimate facade PV potential building by building, and shows how shading from neighbouring buildings changes the result compared with rooftop-only estimates.
