Mapping BC’s Solar Potential: A New Open-Source Solar Map
For the first time, British Columbia’s solar potential has been mapped in a powerful new open-source tool.
On this episode of The Solar PVcast, Chris sits down with Connor McGookin, Research Associate at UBC, to talk about the project and the team behind it. They discuss how the map was created, the many factors considered when estimating solar potential across BC, and why having this data readily available matters.
Similar solar mapping tools exist elsewhere in the world, but BC has been missing this kind of resource. Now it's freely available for anyone to explore — from…
