The online application, in the same style as other
similar initiatives,4 was created to map the solar energy
potential of the city of Rio de Janeiro in a dynamic and
interactive way, using georeferenced data as one of the
layers of information. Once a roof was identified on the
map, by locating it by the address, the user could proceed as follows: engage a calculation simulation platform for sizing a photovoltaic system; and use the
Guide to Photovoltaic Generators, or link to commercial
partners that could offer a budget for the installation of
photovoltaic systems for such a roof5 (see links in the
internal frame highlighted in Figure 1).

In all three cases, the user was referred to the Instituto Ideal initiative websites, always in partnership with institution such as the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the Federal University of Santa Catarina
(UFSC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Latin American
Energy Organization (OLADE).
The application was created from the results of a
study mapping the potential of photovoltaic energy
generation on the roofs of the buildings of the city of
Rio de Janeiro. The Energy Research Company (EPE),
the Brazilian Federal Government, and the German
Cooperation for Sustainable Development, through
the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) coordinated the study. The Secretarial for Economic Development, Energy, Industry, and
Services of the Government of the State of Rio de
Janeiro (SEDEIS) and the Pereira Passos Institute of
the Rio de Janeiro city hall (IPP), responsible for the
city's spatial data, also participated [12].
The Solar Map thereby became a "spokesperson," a
mediator of the sun, and another actor in the extensive
network of heterogeneous elements surrounding photovoltaic systems in Rio de Janeiro.
