Rooftop Solar Installation Database

Information on existing rooftop solar panel installations is fragmented, making it difficult to access and analyse. Consolidating this into a unified database enables district operators and local authorities to better assess their impact on the power grid, solar patterns, and regional initiatives. A clearer understanding of these factors supports effective energy management and urban planning.

Solution


LOCATE PV is a comprehensive database that tracks existing solar rooftop installations across the UK. As of June 2024, there are 1.4 million homes equipped with solar panels, according to government research. LOCATE PV utilises advanced machine learning methodologies to identify and extract solar arrays from high-resolution aerial imagery, ensuring accurate and up-to-date data.

The data is presented in a geospatial shape file, detailing the outline of detected solar arrays, including the square meterage of the roofs. This version serves as a baseline, offering date-related historical data for further analysis.

LOCATE PV equips users with actionable insights, enabling informed decision-making and supporting the efficient management and optimisation of the UK’s expanding solar infrastructure.
