OpenPV

Building the open source website openpv.de to evaluate the solar potential of your building ☀️

Hi there and welcome to the OpenPV organization 👋

We are a team of four developers from Germany, who are passionate about solar energy and the energy transition. Our primary focus is on developing the website openpv.de, which aims to simulate and visualize the solar potential on 3D building data. All our work is open-source.

About openpv.de

Our website provides users with a comprehensive understanding of solar energy potential of their building. By utilizing openly available 3D building data, socalled LOD2 data, openpv.de offers an accurate representation of how solar energy can be harnessed both on roofs and facades. Whether you are an individual looking to install solar panels on your home or a professional seeking insights for larger-scale solar projects, openpv.de empowers you to make informed decisions by visualizing the solar potential in a user-friendly manner.

Open Source Initiative

We believe in the benefits of collaboration and knowledge sharing, hence we make our codebase open source, step by step. This means that developers and researchers will have the opportunity to contribute to the project and adapt it to their specific needs.

Funding

We thank our sponsors.
