Details

GM-SEUS (US Solar Panel Dataset) v2 has been released, with 3,429,157 panels, 18,980 arrays, and 5,822 rooftop arrays.

This version updates the existing ground-mounted solar data and panel/array information, and adds a newly included rooftop array dataset.

The analysis process used the GDAL 3.9.3, DuckDB, H3, JSON, Lindel, Parquet, and Spatial extensions.

The original GeoPackage was read into DuckDB, converted to EPSG:4326, and then saved as Parquet, with HILBERT_ENCODE used for spatial sorting.

The data is organized as follows.

  • rooftop arrays: 5,822 records
  • panels: 3,429,157 records
  • arrays: 18,980 records

A column summary is also provided; for example, the panels data includes fields such as rowArea, rowLength, rowWidth, rowMount, pnlSource, and Source.

For reproducibility, the download URL, conversion SQL, and statistics queries are all provided, allowing verification of the dataset updates and preprocessing methods.
