# A wholesale store modelled and mapped for its solar plant

Energy. Location: Konya, Turkey. Year: 2023.

A wholesale store in Konya needed to complete the surveys ahead of its solar power plant. Our partner MapSurvey delivered a 3D model of the premises and its topographic base maps; the model can be explored on this page.

## What the project needed

A solar plant on a commercial building is designed from the real geometry of the roof and the plot: pitches, installed equipment, parapets and free areas. The brief closed the surveys still missing so the project could move forward.

The MapSurvey record of this job is brief, so this page keeps to what it states and explains the method in general terms.

## How this kind of job is approached

On large commercial roofs the usual method is drone photogrammetry with vertical and oblique passes on ground control: the orthophoto and surface model give the plan and pitches, and the 3D model captures the rooftop equipment that constrains module layout. The work is done from the air, with no need to access the roof or interrupt trading.

## What was delivered

The two products stated in the project record.

- **3D model of the premises**: Roof geometry and equipment for laying out modules and studying shading.
- **Topographic base maps**: Plan of plot and building for the design and its permitting.

## If you have a similar project in Spain

Ask for the 3D model in a format your team can open (OBJ, FBX or a web viewer), the mapping in ETRS89 and your UTM zone as DWG or DXF, and the orthophoto with its GSD stated. To quote, we need the plot perimeter as KMZ, the approximate roof area and the hours in which flying over the car park is acceptable.

## A project by our technical partner

This work was carried out by MapSurvey, our technical partner in Turkey, measuring since 2015. In Spain, SensorFlight handles the fieldwork and the client relationship, and MapSurvey processes the data and delivers the models. Samet Bayram Gulyol, GIS expert at MapSurvey, is SensorFlight's technical lead.
