The solar inventory supports the necessary development of environmentally friendly as well as viable energy production from solar energy at the community level. We analyse and visualise the local potential for solar energy on the roofs of all your buildings for you as a council, district or building society.

BGI with its solar inventory website offers an innovative complete service for promoting the solar energy use of your citizens. BGI can support and advise you in setting up your own solar inventory or deliver a complete solar inventory turnkey ready as a website for your city.

The suitability of the roofs is determined by aerial image specialists with parameters such as roof tilt, exposition, size, shade and quality. The results are then visualised on interactive city maps and aerial images on a public access internet site. Every suitable roof is graphically marked according to its suitability level. With but a few mouse clicks the users of this web based solar inventory – private, public and commercial building owners – can recognize quickly and clearly whether and how well a roof is suited for a solar collector.

The solar inventory website advertises and informs about the solar suitability of roofs and thus demonstrates the existing opportunities for solar energy. In this way, the solar inventory aims to stimulate discussion about energy at the community level and puts forward a case for investments in additional collectors. This generates effective impulses for investments by private, public and commercial building owners which also benefits local tradespeople.

Aside from information about the suitability of roofs, on a different level, the solar inventory provides direct contact to local tradespeople and engineering firms for planning, installing and servicing a solar plant. The solar inventory thus directly supports local medium sized businesses.
