N2 - With an increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) systems being installed on buildings and the fact that rooftops are being used as a platform for PV installation many building owners are looking at installation of PV on a large scale. To determine which building rooftops have higher potential for PV installation, we have designed a methodology that makes the process faster, easier and reduces the number of site studies. A case study that was conducted by a team at Arizona State University to assess in preparing a solar feasibility study for the City of Phoenix's public buildings is used as an example to describe the process. This methodology can be applied to a city or a campus or any facility with large number of buildings.
