Bluesky Maps UK’s Solar Energy Potential

  • Rating12345

Bluesky is rolling out nationwide coverage of its pioneering Solar Suitability Map.  By mapping the potential for power generation using solar panels on roofs, the Solar Map is designed to identify optimum properties for solar power; helping to achieve renewable energy targets and reduce soaring energy costs. Bluesky has seen a growing demand for its solar mapping amongst local authorities, utilities, housing associations and solar panel companies. Bluesky’s solar maps calculate the usable roof space of each property.  By using detailed 3D aerial survey data and discarding features such as dormer windows, large skylights and chimneys, Bluesky’s Solar Maps provide the only truly accurate indicator of the solar potential of individual roofs.
