IRENA SolarCity Simulator – Guyana

This capacity building workshop aimed to launch the SolarCity Simulator for the City of Georgetown, Guyana.

The SolarCity simulator, developed by IRENA, is an innovative web-based platform designed to support cities in assessing the potential for rooftop solar PV installations.

The tool allows users to test policy instruments, incentive schemes, and a system design that could lead to potential economic savings, social-environmental benefits, and support cities to achieve carbon neutral goals.

The workshop featured the methodology used to develop the simulator and demonstrate how the tool could be utilised by homeowners, investors, and project developers to assess the rooftop solar PV potential in Georgetown.

Following the opening remarks, presentation, and demonstration, the workshop featured interventions from country representatives, highlighting the need for such a tool to support the deployment of rooftop PV systems in Guyana. The workshop closed with an opportunity for questions from the audience.
