What is a photovoltaic component manufacturing capacity map?

The U.S. Photovoltaic Component Manufacturing Capacity map includes any active manufacturing site in the U.S. and their nameplate capacity, or the full amount of potential output at an existing facility, as of January 31, 2022. This does not imply that these facilities produced the amount listed.

Are solar photovoltaic map services free?

Map services and data downloaded from the U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database are free and in the public domain.

Are roads and industrial roof tops misclassified into PV power stations?

Other land cover types especially the roads and industrial roof tops may be misclassified into PV power stations. The drawback of this study is that roads and other facilities have not been classified, leading to a risk of underestimating the areas of PV power stations.

Can remote sensing derived data be used for large-scale photovoltaic power stations?
