GIS MAPPING FOR SOLAR
The GIS Mapping for Solar training course is a 12-week online program to learn how to use Geographic Information Systems mapping for solar energy projects. Participants increase their knowledge of GIS analysis to evaluate impacts on land use by solar energy developments, such as the impact of a large solar farm on local food production.
"The GIS Mapping for Solar Course taught me how GIS tools could be applied to solar energy projects and the theory behind it. Very helpful!"
Participants learn how to apply mapping techniques to find opportunities for solar energy
generation in rural and urban areas. They gain experience working through mapping exercises to address challenges and learn participatory
