Solar Cities investigates the solar potential of cities in three dimensions, below and beyond the rooftop. Ten cities arranged in order of the annual solar irradiation maintained by their urban surfaces, with a breakdown showing ground-, façade- and roof-level contributions (all values are /yr):
Focusing on previously under-explored factors such as the albedo (reflectivity) of the urban landscape, we propose a model to more fully assess the spatiotemporal variation in the solar potential of cities: from the roof-tops and facades down to the street-level.
CITYSOLAR brings together world-leading European academic and industrial players, some with key intellectual property, together with two non-EU partners belonging to Mission Innovation countries specialized in the synthesis of advanced materials for hybrid and organic solar cells.
The CITYSOLAR breakthrough is based on a unique combination of innovative concepts that will take the efficiency and transparency of the integrated solar cell well beyond the state of art and allowing for a real exploitation of photovoltaic windows.
The results suggest that cities with high densities of tall buildings and erratic fluctuations in height, such as New York and Singapore, possess large degrees of un-tapped solar potential. The model can support local governments in strategizing urban developments and provide decision making support for energy harvesting initiatives.
Cities worldwide are adopting ambitious climate and energy policies that reconsider traditional, fossil-fuel reliant energy systems. Given the current pace of change, it's projected that within the next 5-10 years, solar cities could realize deep decarbonization objectives.
