The assessment of local photovoltaic (PV) potential plays a critical role in the development
of planning policies and financing schemes for the successful deployment of PV systems in
cities. Considering the significant area available on facades in modern urban landscapes,
the solar potential analysis at the local or municipal scale should be extended to take into
account the irradiation on vertical walls. Starting from three different sets of information of a
site, solar radiation model for roofs, ground and facades, 3D buildings model and a DSM …
