General Context

The implementation of renewable energy sources for residential and commercial use has gained much interest over recent years. Although, many factors must be taken into account before moving on with such project, in this tutorial the focus will be towards establishing optimal locations to implement solar panels in Vancouver. An important aspect to take into account before installation is to measure the potential incoming solar radiation on rooftops. This can be done in SAGA GIS through the use of ‘Sky View Factor’ and ‘Potential Incoming Solar Radiation’ geoprocessing tools.
