What's on the maps?

We show the location of the projects from our extensive database in the form of place markers on a world map. We used the resources of Google Maps to give access to user-friendly facilities for navigating, zooming in and out, and switching between satellite, map and hybrid views. Because of file size limitations, maps for densely covered regions may be broken down into sub-regions, or partial maps may be displayed.

For more on the criteria for selecting the projects to display on the maps, see here.

Our maps

... are available in two formats:

What's on the placemarkers?

When you click on a placemarker (or site footprint) it opens up to show the name of the plant, and lists other details available on the Wiki-Solar Database. There will also be a hyperlink to the site footprint (if available).

An additional service available to customers who order project lists, provides a time-limited voucher to access detailed versions of the maps, where the placemarkers show fuller details of the project participants and technology used, as illustrated below.
