OpenPVMapper database maps over 1.1M French rooftop solar installations

Researchers have developed OpenPVMapper, a comprehensive database of rooftop photovoltaic systems across mainland France. This new resource aggregates data from multiple sources, including deep learning models applied to aerial imagery, OpenStreetMap, and a probabilistic building-level dataset. The database contains over 1.1 million installations, representing approximately 15 GWp of capacity, and is released under an open CC-BY license with accompanying source code. AI

IMPACT Provides a valuable dataset for researchers and policymakers interested in renewable energy infrastructure and AI applications in geospatial analysis.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new database and methodology for mapping photovoltaic systems, published as a research paper on arXiv. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=0.4]

    OpenPVMapper: A Multi-source, Nationwide Database of Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems in France

    arXiv:2607.25153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems account for the vast majority of PV grid connections, yet no open, comprehensive, installation-level dataset of these systems exists: public registries aggregate data only above a capacity threshold…
