Solar Maps of Bordeaux roofs
To educate the Bordeaux population in the potential of solar output, the municipality of Bordeaux achieved a solar cadastre. This tool allows easy visualization of potential electricity generation of each of the town's rooftops. The electricity produced is usually injected into the grid, allowing the installation to participate in the production of energy from clean and decentralized.
The free Solar Map tool, shows the solar potential of every building (kWh / m2 / year) calculated from the simulation of the average annual solar radiation. It takes into account the likely effects shadows (buildings, trees, chimney stacks ...). With this tool you can identify, through a simple color code, if the roof is suitable for the installation of solar panels. If the solar cadastre indicates that your roof is a good candidate for the installation of photovoltaic panels, it remains to verify certain elements: the profitability and feasibility given by the planning rules.
The City of Bordeaux has also put independent energy information advisers free of charge, to discuss your project convenience. An urban architect of the city of Bordeaux is also at your disposal to verify compliance of the project with the current regulations concerning urban planning.
