Abstract: This paper presents a method to model urban context automatically based on UAV photogrammetry and quantify urban context effect on solar radiation received by buildings. This methodology goes from images acquisition to the urban context model, to end with the estimates of solar radiation production. The proposed method was applied to a case study in Harbin. The results showed that the urban context model generated by aerial images satisfies the accuracy and efficiency requirement of solar energy potential evaluation. This study will enable energy investors to accurately identify the solar energy potential and suitable locations of solar photovoltaic power generation equipment on building surfaces.
