Description:
Abstract:
Shows the solar potential of Vermont rooftops believed to be suitable for solar energy in Megawatt hours. Workflow from https://learn.arcgis.com/en/projects/estimate-solar-power-potential/
Purpose:
This data is designed to inform municipal and regional planners on the amount of rooftop area solar radiation potential they have in an area. Metrics are at the structure level but are designed to be aggregated to the town level.

Process_Description:
Original version of the rooftop solar potential of all VT buildings believed to be suitable for rooftop solar energy. Used ESRI Area Solar Radiation Tool on Lidar DSM with VT_Data___2016_3D_Building_Roofprints as a mask to calculate solar potential of 1m cells constituting rooftops. Created Aspect raster of rooftops to remove areas with north facing aspects (>=22.5 AND <=337.5) unless roof is flat (Value <=10). Created Slope raster of rooftops to remove areas with high slopes (<=45 degrees). Remove areas with low solar radiation values >=(800000KWhm2) and areas <= 30sqm. Convert to ASR to MWh/m2 and then to Electric Productivity MWh/m2. Run zonal statistics on footprints. Join summary metrics table to footprint laye. Aggregate footprint metrics to town boundary.
