Rooftop Solar PV Insights
Solar is the world’s fastest growing form of electricity generation. In Australia, more than one in three homes now have solar panels on their rooftops. Many other countries are following the same path.
It’s great to have so much renewable energy! But managing solar generation, which fluctuates significantly in response to moving cloud cover, can be very difficult.
Many utilities have very little visibility on where all this rooftop solar PV is installed.
Geospatial Awareness
Working with our aerial imagery partners, we identify the total solar generation capacity over extended regions. This provides a more accurate understanding of how much rooftop solar PV is installed than any databases driven by manual entry, which is error-prone. We can identify capacity and forecast solar generation for a postcode, for a particular network region, or even for a larger market region.
System Diagnostics and Performance
Our unique approach to solar modelling combines weather and satellite sources with a data-driven approach. We can accurately identify each individual solar PV system’s daily performance curve. This enables alerts when a system is underperforming, and helps to accurately quantify the impact of solar curtailment.
