CH-RPV300: Hourly Rooftop-PV Potential Profiles in Switzerland
Datasets
Hourly rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) power generation profiles for Switzerland, covering 12 weather years (2008--2019) and spatially aggregated to the nodes of the Swiss electricity transmission grid. The dataset resolves 48 orientation and tilt combinations, five installation size classes, and three flat roof design scenarios per grid node, providing approximately 8,550 distinct candidate RPV generators nationwide. What is in this dataset - **Hourly generation profiles** (`power`, in Wh) for each grid node, roof orientation, and tilt bin - **Installed capacity** (`Wp`, in Wp) broken down by size class (1--10, 10--30, 30--100, 100--300, 300--1000 kWp) - **Normalized capacity factor profiles** (`specificPower`, in Wh/Wp) enabling scaling to arbitrary deployment levels - **Voronoi grid shapefiles** defining the spatial aggregation zones around each transmission node. Flat roof scenarios Flat roofs (~23% of Swiss roof area) allow different module configurations. Three scenarios are included: - **Winter** — South-facing, 35° tilt, GCR 0.45 — optimizes winter yield (Oct–Mar) - **Annual** — South-facing, 15° tilt, GCR 0.70 — optimizes annual yield - **Flat-EW** — East-West alternating, 15
