Can London get more solar?

What is the London solar opportunity map?

The London Solar Opportunity Map is based on the interpretation of LiDAR data (where laser technology is used to measure distances) collected and made available by the Environment Agency. It provides an initial estimate of the amount of electricity that could be generated from panels both on rooftops and at ground level.
