Web-GIS tool for estimating rooftop solar power potential

TERI has unveiled the first-ever cloud based open-source Web-GIS Tool for estimating rooftop solar power potential for Indian solar cities. The main objective of this initiative is to develop a high performing and flexible Web-GIS tool to estimate the rooftop solar power potential for Indian cities. The web-GIS tool will be launched in Chandigarh followed by other cities. This initiative is being supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, with strategic support from the Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology Promotion Society, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Solar Energy Corporation of India, and the Confederation of Indian Industry.
