. You can also select from a pre-defined set of neighborhoods
instead of locating an address using the pull-down menu below the City text box.
• Once the map has zoomed in to your area of interest, a 'Solar Potential Layer' box and a toolbox will appear below the address you typed in.
•Under 'Select Your Solar Potential Layer', select the layer you want to view, and adjust the transparency with the slider.
• Next look at Calculate your Solar Potential. It contains 2 drawing tools.
• The first tool will allow you to draw a polygon on the map, while the second tool will delete the polygon.
• Click the
tool.
• Click a point on the map to start drawing your polygon.
• Continue to click points until you are satisfied with your polygon
• Double click a final point to close the polgyon and stop drawing, the solar potential is then calculated automatically.
• A pop-up balloon will appear showing stats related to the area grouped into three categories..
• Chart: A chart showing Solar Duration (in hours) and Solar Radiation (in kWH/m2)
• Calculations: You can drag the slider bar to select your percentage of usable roof area. The rest of the statistics will be updated to reflect this new value.
The Solar Salt Lake Project is an innovative partnership among Salt Lake City,
