Rooftop solar potential from LiDAR in Python: pvlib, PVGIS and shading for every roof

Estimate rooftop solar potential in Python for 2,148 buildings in Manchester: take a 1 m Environment Agency LiDAR DSM and Overture Maps footprints, compute roof slope and aspect, trace horizon angles for shading from neighbours and trees, build a sun map from a PVGIS typical year with pvlib, check it against pvlib's Perez model and PVGIS, then estimate kWp and kWh per year per roof and rank the best roofs.
