GIS Based Management System for Photovoltaic Panels

This paper provides a proposal of implementation of latest technologies in photovoltaic installa- tion and management system. Punjab Government Cooperative Housing Society was selected to find out suitability for photovoltaic installation and its management after that. Google Earth im- agery and scanned maps were selected for the preparation of spatial and attribute data of build- ings in the study area by using ArcGIS software. In first stage data were digitized and suitability and potential for each building were estimated. In second stage all the tabular data which con- sisted of owner information, panel information, its potential and location were linked to each other for management purpose. Selected area for solar panels installation was linked to building information for query and visualization.
