Our partner ARMINES (OIE) had a strong presence at the 8th World Congress on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion at the Parallel event: Solar Resource and Forecast Data for Planning and Operating PV Plants (IEA PVPS Task 16) on the 27^th of September 2022.

More than 25 participants had the opportunity to delve into the e-shape project and Pilot 3.2 | High photovoltaic penetration at urban scale trough our e-shape experts Rodrigo Amaro e Silva and Philippe Blanc and their presentation entitled "Solar resource for cities (solar cadastres)".

The main objective was to provide an overview on the topic while showing how e-shape research from ARMINES/OIE is paving the way.

With a view to elevate the e-shape presence, a poster entitled "Estimating Global Horizontal Irradiance at the Urban Level: A Sensitivity Analysis Using Different Digital Surface Models" was also presented, focusing on evaluating different Digital Surface Models (3d urban maps) for calculating urban solar resource, considering location from e-shape pilot.
