In order to determine the solar energy potential for a specified location, it is crucial to consider the latitude, altitude, slope, terrain morphology, atmospheric conditions, etc. Such a complex calculation and mapping of solar energy can be done using the ArcGIS geoprocessing tool, named Area Solar Radiation (ASR). By using the ASR tool, supported with the adequate input data, it is possible to calculate the maximum solar radiation energy (irradiation) for a defined area and for a specified time interval. This paper presents a methodology for the application of the ASR tool for the determination of solar energy potential in urban areas. The focus of the research was urban residential areas, where solar panels (for heat and electricity production) can be installed on rooftops. The methodology was tested for the city of Vranje, located in the Southern Region of Serbia. The extraction of the urban area was carried out using the CORINE Land Cover Open Data – the product of the visual interpretation of high-resolution satellite imagery. According to the ASR calculation, the maximum irradiation for a selected part of the urban area is 1,373 kWh/m2 annually, and the average for a total urban area is 1,227 kWh/m2, annually. The obtained result can be used as an input for further technical and economic analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the usage of solar energy. The presented methodology can be applied to any other area with an appropriate digital elevation model (DEM), which is the main precondition to ensure the appropriate topographic parameters.
