8b: Daytime sun exposure of Vineyard

This exercise assessed daytime sun exposure of vineyard areas through solar radiation modeling in ArcGIS Pro, focusing on how different slopes and orientations affect sunlight exposure for grape ripening. In an environmental application, similar GIS techniques could optimize solar panel placement in renewable energy projects. By identifying ideal locations for solar farms based on sun exposure, energy planners can maximize energy generation while minimizing environmental impacts, aligning with sustainability goals.
