Interactive Map Allows SF Residents to Estimate Their Home’s Solar Energy Potential
Despite its foggy weather, San Francisco is on the forefront of residential solar panel installations. In addition to providing monetary incentives, the city recently commissioned the production of a really cool interactive online map that can be used by anyone looking to determine the solar energy potential on their property.
The map is at sf.solarmap.org and allows users to plug-in any address in the city and will return details on: Roof Size, Estimated solar PV potential, Estimated electricity produced, Estimated electricity savings, and Estimated carbon savings.
The purpose of the map is “to promote greater public awareness about solar potential in San Francisco and to facilitate greater solar usage among commercial and residential building owners.”

This should be available for the rest of the states. Lots of people and business will be sitting there not knowing the savings available just above their heads.
