Abstract
This paper describes a method for estimating the technical potential of rooftop photovoltaics (PV) using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory´s (NREL) In My Backyard (IMBY) tool. This method is applied to 10 utility network areas in New York City to estimate PV yield potential. PV power generation is compared to network loads to determine when and where PV generation may exceed network loads. The effects of energy exporting on network distribution systems are evaluated.
