Geoscape’s enhanced National Buildings data coverage gives organisations a clearer, building-level view of rooftop solar across Australia — including rural and regional areas where insight can be harder to source.
The challenge: solar is growing, but visibility is uneven
Rooftop solar is becoming part of Australia’s resilience infrastructure, helping households and businesses reduce emissions, manage energy vulnerability and adapt to extreme weather, cost pressures and electrification.
But for governments, emergency services, banks and insurers, solar can be difficult to factor into planning, lending, risk, ESG and response decisions without trusted location-based data.
The solution: clearer solar intelligence at building level
Geoscape has refreshed and uplifted National Buildings data to provide broader, cleaner and more current building intelligence across Australia. As part of this uplift, 99.5% of national buildings now include a solar indicator.
Customers can now better understand where solar is installed with insights that include:
Solar flag
A Yes/No indicator showing whether solar is present on a building.
Solar area
The total area of solar arrays related to the building, measured in square metres.
Estimated daily generation
The estimated power generated on an average day by all solar arrays for the building, measured in kilowatt hours.
Panel type
Indicates whether panels are monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin film, where available.
The outcome: better decisions for resilience, risk and sustainability
With more complete solar and rural building coverage, organisations can turn rooftop solar from a hidden asset into practical intelligence for climate resilience, emissions reduction, green finance, emergency planning and portfolio risk.
