Solar Potential Analysis of Bus Shelters in Urban Environments: A Study Case in Ávila (Spain)

María Sánchez-Aparicio,

et al.

Abstract: The presence of shadows is one of the main disadvantages of photovoltaic solar panel installations in urban environments. This article analyses their effect on solar installations performed on urban elements where the use of solar energy can be considered novel: bus shelters. For this purpose, the PVGIS tool is used in combination with a new methodology for the extraction of the shadow horizon profile from LiDAR point clouds. The results show a 29.90% and 37% reduction of calculated solar radiation using horiz… Show more

“…The National Geographic Institute (IGN) in Spain offers highly accurate and updated LiDAR data of the entire Spanish territory, captured periodically under the National Plan for Territory Observation (Plan Nacional de Observación del Territorio—PNOT) [ 38 ]. Previous studies have demonstrated the applicability of these LiDAR data in urban environments in Spain [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”
