The planning and preparation phase involves examining the technological, market and public policy situation specific to the solar technologies covered by the roadmap. In addition to this broad analysis, a comprehensive understanding of solar potential and resources must be developed.
IEA 2019. All rights reserved. Solar Energy: Mapping the Road Ahead aims to provide government, industry, civil society and community stakeholders with the methodology and tools to successfully plan and implement national and regional solar energy roadmaps. This guide’s holistic approach encompasses all solar technologies – solar PV, CSP and SHC.
The PVGIS Photovoltaic Geographical Information System tool, developed and maintained by the Joint Research Centre, provides information about solar radiation and photvoltaic (PV) system performance for any location in Europe. Citizens and installers can use it for an instantaneous assessment of the potential to generate solar energy on rooftops.
The process of devising a roadmap is as important as the roadmap itself for ensuring the success of solar energy technologies. The first phase of roadmapping – identifying all stakeholders and engaging in extensive dialogue – is decisive. It leads to the second phase, the building of a common vision.
This free, web-based tool will help investors and policymakers identify potential sites for solar power generation virtually anywhere in the world, at the click of a button. The tool displays annual average solar power potential, provides access to high resolution global and regional maps, and geographic information system (GIS) data.
Furthermore, the map includes equipment manufacturers and European research centers which are the backbone of European solar innovation. This is a dynamic map that allows you to use the filter system and select any segment of the value chain, in any country.

Solar Energy: Mapping the Road Ahead – Analysis
Solar technologies use the radiative energy of sunshine in a wide spectrum of applications to provide electricity, heat and cold, and even fuel. Rather than assessing them separately, photovoltaic (PV) energy, concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar thermal heating and cooling (SHC) should be considered as complementary technologies.
