Sedigheh Ghiasi will be defending her MS in Architecture Thesis “An interactive GIS-based method to determine feasible roof areas for Photovoltaic panels” on November 18, 2021 at 10am in Room 130 in the ISU College of Design.
Summary: My thesis is about creating a solar radiation map to identify suitable roof areas for hosting PV panels and estimate potential electricity output based on the suitable rooftop. Solar radiation is mapped using a digital surface model (DSM) and Hillshade effect based on the sun’s position from sunrise to sunset. Then, various scenarios of the suitable area are suggested to the users. These scenarios vary in terms of the intensity of solar radiation and shading percentage.
