Flexible panel alignments increase the maximal energy production by up to 6%. Model 1 is more computational tractable requiring less problem-solving time.

How can GIS Help A solar PV system?

GIS finds the suitable areas for solar PV panel installation. Layout design maximizes the energy production potential of a solar PV system. The new method has been applied to identify the optimal panel layout on a rooftop. Flexible panel alignments increase the maximal energy production by up to 6%.

What is a suitable area for solar PV installation?

Suitable areas that are contiguous are then delineated. For practical considerations, a minimum contiguous area is required for solar PV installation ; areas that fail to meet the minimum size requirement are then eliminated. The resulting areas gives the final suitable area for the optimal spatial layout design.

Where can a solar PV panel be located?

In this study, a solar PV panel could be sited almost anywhere on a rooftop, and sunlight is continuously distributed across an unshaded area. The PV panel spati al layout p roblem is then a continuous space location problem. Such a problem is often more challenging to formulate and solve [42,43]. A common strategy relies upon continuous spa ce

How to design a solar panel?

The spatial layout design of PV panels starts with identification of rooftop areas suitable for the panel installation in a GIS.
