Teen solves centuries-old math problem
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19 (UPI) -- San Francisco is set to launch the first solar mapping Web portal of its kind.
CH2M Hill Enterprise Management Solutions, with the City of San Francisco and the County of San Francisco Department of the Environment, will officially launch the solar mapping Web portal Wednesday.
The portal estimates solar energy potential for commercial/residential structures in San Francisco, and allows building owners to visualize the potential environmental benefits and monetary savings resulting from installing solar energy panels on their property.
Using Google Maps as a visualization platform, the portal enables users to enter a San Francisco address and see a map view of that address. Users are provided with information estimating the amount of solar photovoltaic energy that could be installed on the roof, the amount of solar PV energy that could be generated and the potential electricity cost savings resulting from installation.
The solar mapping will also estimate the potential carbon dioxide/greenhouse gas reduction as a result of installing a solar PV system, and showcase studies of other San Francisco businesses and homeowners who have installed solar PV systems.
