This lecture focuses on estimating the solar energy potential in Switzerland using GIS data analysis. Students will use Quantum GIS software to analyze Meteo Swiss 2014 solar irradiation data and Swiss country boundary data. They will choose a solar energy technology, estimate its potential, and discuss its contribution to Switzerland's energy needs.
