CESA Webinar: Solar Maps as Tools for Advancing Solar Energy

March 5, 2014

This webinar will highlight cutting-edge map-based tools that have been developed in the District of Columbia, New York, and Ohio. These maps can serve as good models for other states and communities. The webinar will focus primarily on maps that show the potential suitability of installing solar on particular buildings within a community. Such maps can help building owners and solar installers know whether a building may be suitable for a solar installation. The maps reduce the transaction costs involved with solar development and save building owners from wasting time pursuing infeasible projects.
