The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has developed the first-ever open-source Web-GIS Tool for estimating rooftop solar power potential for Indian solar cities.
The tool aims to develop a high performing and flexible web GIS based tool to estimate the rooftop solar power potential for Indian cities. The first city where the tool will be launched will be the city of Chandigarh, followed by other cities in India.
This initiative is being supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF), with strategic support from the Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST), the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
Speaking at the lauch of the tool, Punjab Governor, Shivraj Patil said:
“We have taken a decision to install rooftop solar energy devices in government buildings in Chandigarh to become a model solar city. The government was already providing subsidies to the private sector to produce renewable energy.”

All Union Territories are having small land and no land bank. Solar can go in as Roof top only. Can you help the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) for Goa & UTs to assess the Solar Capability thru Roof Tops.
Dr Leena shrivastava is on the advisory panel of JERC
