Interactive Map That Tells If Your Home Is Suitable for Solar Power

The city of Cambridge in Massachusetts has collaborated with MIT to make an interactive map that determines solar power potential, enabling its residents (and possible solar power beneficiaries) to know whether their home is suitable for solar power or not – just by typing their address into the innovative web system.

The site lets users understand the advantages and factors related to the installation of solar voltaic units in good locations, such as:

The size of the installation

Price of installation

Savings via state and federal tax rebates

Savings via electricity production estimates annually

Assessment of pollution and carbon diffusion

This technology assesses the amount of electricity that can be produced in one year and ranks the homes as zero, poor, good and excellent solar potential.
