SEC 2 END

The data collected for every house was:

We applied the same process that solar PV installers use to provide feasibility assessments and quotes for individual homes. This involved the use of software that estimated the impact of shading on the viability of solar power generation; and measured rooftop dimensions to determine how many panels could potentially be installed.

We used the measure that 3 panels equated to one kilowatt generation capacity, in line with the current industry standard.

Q: Whether existing solar panels were evident - Yes/No

Solar potential generation estimates were to be assessed by studying publicly available aerial imaging of all rooftops on properties on the Bouddi Peninsula.

Q: If solarpanels are installed, then is there potential for further capacity?

A team of Electrify Bouddi members of the Electrify Your Community working group developed the following methodology for this study.

Q: For houses where no solar panels were evident, then: Was the site too shady or had insufficient roofscape for solar panels – Yes/No

Quality assurance was undertaken to ensure the consistency of assessments.

We estimate to have covered 97% of all homes in Bouddi.

Q: For solar viable houses, did they have capacity for 9, 18 or more than 18 solar panels.
