Abstract
This paper deals with the visualization of maps, spatial calculations of solar and photovoltaic systems. In particular, the issue of solar radiation and proper orientation and slope of photovoltaic panels in relation with the type and inclination of the landscape is discussed. The first part of the work focuses on the EU’s interactive maps (Photovoltaic Geographical Information System) and describes the calculations and the input data used for developing the application; it is calculation of intensity of solar radiation data and SRTM DEM and ASTER GDEM data. The second part is devoted to the development of the custom applications. Applications use the Open Source control from the project GMaps.NET, Google maps and Silverlight Bing maps. In conclusion, results are compared to the EU model with own solutions.
