About Wie ist mein Solar?
Urban Analytica GmbH from Nuremberg is a software company that operates the "Wie ist mein Solar?" platform. The service enables a free, anonymous and GDPR-compliant assessment of the photovoltaic potential of building roofs based on official 3D building data. From address data, a 3D model of the building is retrieved, from which the system size, solar yield and economic viability of a PV system are determined. The analyses are based on publicly available building data, radiation data from the German Weather Service (DWD) and data from the Marktstammdatenregister (core energy market register) of the Bundesnetzagentur. In addition to the 3D solar check, the company offers the Solaratlas Deutschland with regional evaluations of PV expansion and building potential. Upon request and with the user's consent, contacts to solar installers are provided. The development of the services was supported by the Research and Development funding programme of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy.
