Solar photovoltaic power generation planning map

Are solar photovoltaic map services free?

Map services and data downloaded from the U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database are free and in the public domain.

What is the US large-scale solar photovoltaic database?

The U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database provides the locations and array boundaries of U.S. ground-mounted photovoltaic facilities, with capacity of 1 megawatt or more.

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.

Can remote sensing derived data be used for large-scale photovoltaic power stations?

Scientific Data 11, Article number: 198 (2024) Cite this article We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters.

Should PV power stations be monitored?

The monitoring of PV power stations would be meaningful for both researchers and government officials. As mentioned above, the last decade has witnessed the widespread of PV power stations in China, where much previous gobi, grassland, water bodies and mountain land have now been covered by newly-built PV power stations (Fig. 1).
