The tool calculates that a total of 3.250.000 solar panels can be installed on Amsterdam rooftops. That means in Amsterdam there's room to potentially install 6.5 times as many photovoltaic (PV) systems than the 500,000 currently installed on the city's roofs.
In addition, the research reveals that the city has the potential to install (and therefore generate) even more. Our new calculations show that the full potential of rooftop solar panels could provide the city with an energy output of over 6.9 PJ annually, equivalent to near half of Amsterdam's total electricity demand!
This visuals shows that with PV and PVT panels, the generating potential of Amsterdam's rooftop can account for nearly 40% of the cities total energy consumption. Combatting dominant uncertainties about solar panels
The municipal government aims to equip around 500,000 home with PV systems by 2040. Amsterdam now hosts more than 1 million solar panels across 120,000 households, for a total capacity of around 250 MW. The municipal government said the number of solar modules deployed in the city has more than doubled in 2.5 years.
