OpenPVMapper: A Multi-source, Nationwide Database of Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems in France
Abstract
Dataset containing the rooftop PV detections from IGN aerial imagery. File format : .geojson For each detection, The geometry corresponds to its minimum bounding rectangle, The properties are the following : `surface` the polygon surface in squared meters, `yield_kwh` : the raw annual production (in kWh), estimated from PVGis `kwp_approx` : the installed capacity (in kWp), `year` : the detection year (i.e., the year of the corresponding IGN imagery) The dataset contains a total of 459 034 detections for an aggregated installed capacity of 2.296 GWp.
