IsraelThe Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Israel Mapping Center have collaborated on a tool that offers public information about the potential on the roof.
The system Uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to automatically map available areas in Israel where solar systems can be installed. It analyzes the intensity of solar radiation and subtracts areas that are occupied by existing PV systems.
The tool offers details about potential solar production on the roof for residential, commercial, industrial and public buildings, as well as sports fields, public parking spaces, cemeteries and agricultural spaces in built -up areas.
It also calculates the expected total product hours for each site and estimates the annual income from the sale of electricity, with an ongoing calculator available on the Ministry’s website.
The ministry said it is planning to develop a dashboard to help the local authorities formulate policy that promotes the use of solar energy in public buildings and areas.
Yossi Dayan, director -general of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, said that the tool supports the goal of Israel to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030.
“This is a movement that significantly reduces the electricity bill and sometimes even leads to its cancellation, and also forms an economic investment and a source of long -term income,” Daysan added. “A sunroof offers energy security for the family in times of need and maintains a green and clean environment.”
In January, the Israeli solar developer Teralight said that it had started exploiting Israel Largest solar project To date.
