Solar potential & policy

Solar energy mapped

One data source, two uses: an accessible Solar Map for residents and Solar Map Pro for policy, reporting and RES monitoring.

Why solar energy is crucial

Solar energy is the cheapest and cleanest form of power generation. Solar potential insight helps municipalities and residents accelerate the energy transition. From awareness to policy: one data source for public map and professional analysis.

Challenges for municipalities and policy

As a municipality or government you want to steer on solar energy and be accountable. Uncertain figures, reporting delays and resident resistance make that difficult.

Policy challenges

You struggle with current figures on installed capacity and progress. Without reliable data, steering on realisation and RES targets stalls.

Resident concerns

Resistance and lack of clear information delay projects. An accessible solar map helps residents and reduces unnecessary questions at the desk.

Reporting and accountability

Council and administration want current figures; province and national government ask for substantiation. Without consistent data, reporting is difficult.

To meet climate targets, about 5 GWp of new solar capacity is needed annually; in 2024 about 3.4 GWp was installed.

Solar in practice

One map: roof potential, installed capacity and progress per neighbourhood or district. For steering on realisation, RES reporting and policy choices.

Solar map in practice

Make solar energy visible

Use the same current data for public communication and professional analysis. Residents can see what their roof can deliver; policymakers steer on progress, potential and reporting.

For residents and for policy

Solar is available as Solar Map for residents and Solar Map Pro for policy and decision-making. Both have their place; they serve different purposes.

  • Solar Map for residents

    An accessible solar map so residents can see if their roof is suitable for solar panels and what the estimated yield is. Ideal to inform residents.

    • Is my roof suitable?
    • Estimated yield
    • Simplicity and clarity
    More about Solar Map
  • Solar Map Pro for policy

    For policymakers and governments: solar panel detections, solar monitor, dashboards and reports. RES monitoring, export and connection to your own GIS or portal.

    • Panel detections (aerial + AI)
    • Solar monitor and area figures
    • Export and connection
    More about Solar Map Pro

What we do and how we do it

Solar is based on current data and a reliable solar monitor. That gives you insight into installed capacity, roof potential and progress.

Solar panel detections

We arrange detection of panels on roofs from current aerial imagery, combining manual review and AI.

  • Analysis from aerial photos
  • Manual + AI for accuracy
  • Periodic updates

Solar monitor and data

The solar monitor maps installed capacity, roof potential and progress per area.

  • Figures and maps for RES, municipality and province
  • Export and connection to your GIS or portal

Solar: complete solar energy monitoring

A comprehensive toolkit for municipalities taking solar seriously. From policy to practice: measurable results for a sustainable energy transition.

  • Roof potential

    Detailed analysis of solar potential on all roofs in your municipality.

  • Energy yield

    Accurate calculation of expected energy yield and financial returns.

  • Location insight

    Smart site selection for solar projects based on data.

  • Resident communication

    Tools to communicate effectively with residents about solar energy.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about Solar, Solar Map and Solar Map Pro.

Does Solar align with RES and regional energy monitoring?
Yes. Solar Map Pro delivers figures and maps on installed capacity, potential and progress per area. You can use that data for RES monitoring, regional energy strategies and reporting to national or provincial government.
How often is roof potential updated?
Potential maps are updated periodically based on current roof data (BAG, aerial photos). Installed capacity and realisation are updated with data from grid operators and (where available) subsidy and permit registers.
Can Solar connect to our systems or portal?
Yes. We offer API access and export to common formats. Connections with GIS, energy management and municipal or regional portals are possible.
