To accelerate the energy transition, the City of Amsterdam wants to further the implementation of solar panels on buildings. But what is the real solar panel implementation potential of Amsterdam roof-tops considering the city's local grid infrastructure? And other than roofs, what about other surfaces, such as facades, roads, and pavements?

This lecture will be led by researchers from the Solar Urban program at TU Delft who are working on exactly this. The speakers will introduce the Dutch PV Portal, a tool that can be used by policymakers and homeowners to accurately predict the potential for solar production. They will also share results and key insights from solar projects deployed in Amsterdam and the TU Delft campus. Come and learn about the opportunities for utilizing solar energy everywhere in the built environment.

Featuring speakers:
· Olindo Isabella, AMS PI & Associate Professor TU Delft Photovoltaic Materials and Devices group
· Hesan Ziar, Assistant Professor, TU Delft Photovoltaic Materials and Devices group
· Maarten Verkou, AMS RF & Researcher Solar Urban at Photovoltaic Materials and Devices group

Urban Energy

To reach the city's climate ambitions, we have to generate more energy within the city itself. This can be done for example by using solar panels that are placed on roofs. But what about other surfaces, such as facades, roads, and pavements?
