The SOLAR component of REMap is tasked with mapping the solar energy resource in the country as well as determing the suitability of sites for solar energy (Photovoltaic) farms using different RS/GIS and other geospatial technologies.
The Philippine Renewable Energy Resource Mapping from LiDAR Surveys (REMap) Project is one of the component projects of the Phil-LiDAR 2 Program. Its objective is to develop algorithms and methodologies in order to assess the biomass, hydro, solar, and wind energy resources in the country.
The Nationwide Detailed Resources Assessment using LiDAR (Phil-LiDAR 2) is a research program funded by the Philippines' Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to provide detailed inventory of agricultural, coastal, forest, hydrologic, and renewable energy resources using LiDAR and other remotely sensed data.
