Are there any algorithms / models out there for determining the
resource potential of solar insolation and/or microhydro
programmatically?
I know there are methods for modeling wind resource energy potentials,
resulting in a raster wind class dataset, produced by TrueWind LLC in
New York; but I imagine those are proprietary.
Is it possible to create one's own wind resource potential raster using
LIDAR data combined with weather station data?
What about solar and microhydro?
With microhydro, I can only think of obtaining a vector hydro layer,
then identifying all parcels intersected by a stream - perhaps querying
some attribute data if any exists in the hydro layer.
How would I measure solar insolation, to see if any land parcel in
particular would be a good site for photovoltaics and/or solar hot
water heating?
Thanks.

Yes,
have a look at GRASS GIS:
