Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis

As part of the potential area analysis, in addition to assessing the areas on the basis of legal requirements, special consideration is given to location-specific development goals and regional design ideas of the municipalities. As a result, you have certainty about the suitability of the area and receive a control instrument tailored to your requirements.

The four phases of the Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis

Calculation

By excluding the incompatible areas (hard exclusion criteria) while at the same time taking into account all areas that are fundamentally suitable for the construction of ground-mounted PV systems, the possible basic potential in the area under investigation is determined. This general baseline analysis represents the result of the first project phase.

Participation

The basic potential is narrowed down and refined through the implementation and design of various analysis criteria. This creates an individual picture of possible locations for ground-mounted PV systems that is tailored to the requirements of the municipality or city. With the help of various additional services, certain topics can be considered in greater depth.

Rating

The final result of the three-phase approach is the cartographic representation and evaluation of all suitable areas, from which spatial priorities for the construction of ground-mounted PV systems in the study area can be derived.

Project completion and analysis results

The results of the potential analysis are presented to the client in a final meeting. On completion of the project, the client receives a cartographic representation (DIN A0) of all suitable potential areas in the entire study area. In addition, the procedure, the individual components for calculating the pre-weighted areas and the analysis results are clearly explained and summarized in a brief report. In addition, the potential areas are prepared as a geodata set (shapefile). The results are transmitted in digital form.

Frequently asked questions

How does the potential area analysis work?

The potential area analysis is carried out in three steps: Firstly, incompatible areas are excluded and the basic potential is determined. In the second step, this potential is refined using specific analysis criteria. Finally, the suitable areas are mapped and evaluated.

Does the Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis automatically take legal framework conditions into account?

Yes, the Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis takes all relevant legal requirements into account, including nature conservation, development plans and other exclusion criteria.

What specific analysis criteria can still be defined in the Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis?

In addition to the legal framework, criteria such as planned land use, access to infrastructure and other environmental factors can also be taken into account in the second step of the analysis process.

How long does the entire calculation take?

The duration varies depending on the size of the study area and the specific requirements of the city and municipality. The exact time frame is defined at the beginning of the project.

How can the Open-space Photovoltaic Analysis help to speed up processes?

The detailed assessment of potential areas and the various options for exporting the collected data can simplify authorisation processes and reduce personnel costs.
