Rosario, Argentina Solar Potential

This is a repository including a solar potential analysis for the city of Rosario in Argentina.
The analysis is part of the thesis Estimating building rooftop solar potential in a city from a developing country.

The repository includes the following:

  1. The index.html code is for creating a web map displaying solar potential for building rooftops in the city Rosario, Argentina.
    The building polygon layer was collected from OpenStreetMap using GEOFABRIK and the solar potential was calculated using The World Bank's Global Solar Atlas global horizontal irradiance (GHI) layer.
    The web map was built using the libraries jQuery API, Leaflet and hosted on GitHub Pages.
    The web map is available here.
  2. The data folder includes the building polygon layers for the web map.
  3. The image folder includes images used for the web map.
  4. The QGIS folder includes the rosario.qgz file and the layers created and used in the project (see QGIS/README.md).
  5. The municipal&OSM folder includes a R code municipal_buildings.R for visualizing the results of the municipal and OSM layers created in the QGIS project.
  6. The sampling folder includes a R Markdown code for the sampling analysis (see sampling/README.md).
