Abstract
This paper describes a method for estimating the technical potential of rooftop photovoltaics (PV) based on satellite imagery. This method is applied to two utility network areas in New York City to estimate PV yield potential. PV power generation is compared to network loads to determine when and where PV generation can exceed network loads.The effects of energy exporting on network distribution systems are evaluated.
