Abstract

The demand for energy is increasing significantly over the past few decades. Mostly, the energy is coming from fossil fuels. It should be noted that fossil energy is not environmentally friendly and non-sustainable energy. Hence, it is necessary to replace fossil energy with renewable and sustainable energy such as solar PV energy. Solar energy is one of the renewable energies that can choose to replace fossil energy sources. Urban areas are areas with higher energy requirements than rural areas, but the availability of vacant land in urban areas is very minimal to the installation of solar power plants. Hence, rooftop solar PV energy can be a solution in dense areas such as urban areas. Before installing a rooftop solar PV plant, it is necessary to investigate how much energy can be provided to meet daily needs. Furthermore, it is also essential to optimize the installation so more daily energy can be supplied. This research focuses on investigating the solar energy potential to meet the daily demand from time to time. Modeling of solar energy potential in each house is essential to determine how much energy can be provided by solar PV plants in several years. In this research, the temporal analysis is used to model the energy demand from solar PV plants. This research will integrate statistical data and remote sensing data. The availability and the demand energy of each house will be investigated thoroughly in this research. Furthermore, how much electrical energy can be supplied by solar PV rooftop is also considered in this research. This research is expected to be used by policymakers in developing renewable energy in the city of Bandung and will increase community participation in switching to renewable energy.
