Estimation of rooftop solar photovoltaic potential of a city

The results show a potential of 2190 MW for Mumbai city with median efficiency panels, at an annual average capacity factor of 14.8%. Daily and monthly variation of the generation from the Rooftop PV Systems has been studied. Comparison with sample daily load profiles shows that large scale deployment of Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Systems can provide 12.8-20% of the average daily demand and 31-60% of the morning peak demand for different months, even with median conversion efficiency panels. This method can be used to obtain the PV potential for any region.
