GIS Strategies for Large Scale Solar PV Projects: Optimizing Site Selection, Risk Assessment, and Stakeholder Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the period 2 – 4 July 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become indispensable in the renewable energy sector, particularly in the planning, development, and management. This program offers participants an in-depth exploration of GIS concepts and their practical application in the solar PV energy domain. Additionally, participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage GIS technology for site selection, flood risk assessment, economic analysis, and stakeholder communication in solar PV projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Introduce participants to GIS concepts and basics, including data collection, analysis, and visualization using modern technology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Introduce participants to the role of GIS in solar PV projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Provide a deep understanding of GIS\u2019s role in selecting solar PV sites, using spatial data to identify optimal locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Utilize GIS to analyze costs and benefits of building solar PV projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Introduce the assessment of solar PV site risks, with a particular emphasis on flooding risk, using GIS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Enhance participants’ ability to create detailed spatial reports and analyses, supporting informed decision-making for solar energy investments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Teach how to effectively communicate GIS analysis results to stakeholders to support planning and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
