Abstract

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Photovoltaic (PV) Rooftop Database (PVRDB) is a lidar-derived, geospatially-resolved dataset of suitable roof surfaces and their PV technical potential for 128 metropolitan regions in the United States. The PVRDB data are organized by city and year of lidar collection. Five geospatial layers are available for each city and year: 1) the raster extent of the lidar collection, 2) buildings identified from the lidar data, 3) suitable developable planes for each building, 4) aspect values of the developable planes, and 5) the technical potential estimates of the developable planes.

PV Rooftop Database for Puerto Rico (PVRDB-PR)

Dataset Mooney, Meghan ; Waechter, Katy

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) PV Rooftop Database for Puerto Rico (PVRDB-PR) is a lidar-derived, geospatially-resolved dataset of suitable roof surfaces and their PV technical potential for virtually all buildings in Puerto Rico. The dataset can be downloaded at the AWS S3 explorer page. The GitHub documentation page provides a description of the dataset with methods and assumptions. The Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset provides Census Tract level estimates of residential low-to-moderate income (LMI) PV rooftop technical potential as well as solar electric bill savings potential for LMI communities at the municipality level.
U.S. PV-Suitable Rooftop Resources

Dataset Phillips, Caleb ; Melius, Jenny

This dataset contains zipcode resolution estimates of suitable area on small (1,000-5,000 m^2), medium (5,000-10,000 m^2) and large (>10,000 m^2) buildings' rooftops for PV deployment.
Puerto Rico Solar-for-All: LMI PV Rooftop Technical Potential and Solar Savings Potential

Dataset Mooney, Meghan ; Waechter, Katy ; Miller, Clark

The Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset provides Census Tract level estimates of residential low-to-moderate income (LMI) PV rooftop technical potential as well as solar electric bill savings potential for LMI communities at the municipality level. Each dataset is broken out by income group, defined by the Area Median Income (AMI), by tenure, and by building type. The underlying LiDAR data used the estimation were collected in 2015-2017 and the American Community Survey (ACS) data are from 2011-2015. This Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset is intended to extend the SEEDSII Solar-For-All estimates for the US 50-states (https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy18osti/70901.pdf) for the territory of Puerto Ricomore »« less
Rooftop Photovoltaic Technical Potential in the United States

Dataset Gagnon, Pieter ; Margolis, Robert ; Phillips, Caleb

This data submission contains a workbook with data, and three sets of shapefiles that correspond to that data. Contact: Meghan Mooney, Meghan.Mooney@nrel.gov The workbook contains data that underlies the 2016 technical report Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Technical Potential in the United States: A Detailed Assessment. This data is separated into small, medium, and large buildings. A small building is less than 5,000 square feet, a medium building is between 5,000 and 25,000 square feet, and a large building is greater than 25,000 square feet. The suitability of roof area for hosting PV was determined based on shading (energy production not lessmore »« less
CROCUS Weather Data at Northeastern Illinois University Rooftop

Dataset O'Brien, Joseph ; Anderson, Gregory ; Tuftedal, Matthew ; ...

This dataset is from the Department of Energy Office of Science funded project, Community Research on Urban and Climate Science (CROCUS) (https://crocus-urban.org/). Vaisala WXT sensor is an all-in-one weather instrument that provides 6 of the most important weather parameters: barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction. Temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and rainfall are sampled at 1 second frequency, while wind speed/direction is measured at ten per second (10Hz) frequency. These measurements are useful for looking at characterizing local weather, identifying unique weather events, and studying local turbulence, especially given the high temporal resolution of the wind measurements.Datasetsmore »« less
