School of Engineering PhD student Siddarth Joshi leads 1st study to assess global rooftop solar electricity potential
The first detailed global assessment of the electricity generation potential of rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) technology has been conducted by researchers at MaREI, the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine in 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC), in collaboration with international research partners. The findings are published in
The research team including lead author Siddharth Joshi, together with UCC colleagues Professor Brian 脫 Gallach贸ir, Dr Paul Holloway and colleagues at Imperial College London, Columbia 深夜亚洲福利久久, and Ahmedabad 深夜亚洲福利久久, assessed the electricity generation potential of rooftop solar PV globally and the associated costs. The authors mapped 130 million km2 of global land surface area to identify 0.2 million km2 of rooftop area using a novel Machine Learning algorithm. This rooftop area was then analysed to quantify the global electricity generation potential of rooftop solar PV.
