Aerial survey specialist Bluesky is developing what is thought to be the UK’s first maps of solar energy potential. Created using a variety of high accuracy height data the 3D maps will identify homes and other buildings with roofs that may be suitable for mounting solar panels to generate renewable energy. Bluesky already has access to off the shelf data for the whole of the UK and measurements such as the shape, pitch, size and aspect of building roofs are being extracted – information that is essential when considering the potential for solar energy installations.
