A method of calculating urban-scale solar potential by evaluating and quantifying the relationship between urban block typology and occlusion coefficient: A case study of Wuhan in Central China

•An urban block classification method based on clustering algorithm is applied.•Occlusion coefficient shows three main groups, which represent three types of urban block.•Occlusion factors of urban block types helps to revise the evaluation of urban roof solar energy potential.•A method for quickly...
