Malaga city council has launched a new digital tool, called Atlas Solar, that allows residents to quickly discover the solar potential of their building, the energy it could generate and the estimated savings potential.

The tool on the website of Oficina Municipal de Información Fotovoltaica facilitates making informed decisions about solar energy use.

Innovation councillor Alicia Izquierdo said that this tool allows the user to enter their address or navigate directly to locate their property and obtain an immediate analysis of the building's roof through an interactive map.

Atlas Solar provides a clear estimate of the building's potential. The available information includes the approximate space that could house solar panels, the amount of energy that they could generate throughout the year and the percentage of electricity that production could cover.
