On-site detection of photovoltaic panel power generation
This study investigated the application of advanced Machine Learning techniques to predict power generation and detect abnormalities in solar Photovoltaic systems. . Solar power providers and customers, urban planners, grid system operators, and energy policymakers would vastly benefit from an imagery-based solar panel detection algorithm that can be used to form granular datasets of installations and their power capacities. Since most PV systems are placed in-line and series connected, panel-specific granularity is costly and most systems monitor performance up to the inverter level. . Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a vital renewable energy to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the complexity of land cover types can bring much difficulty in PV identification. The study conducted a comprehensive assessment of various sophisticated models, including Random Trees, Random Forest, eXtreme Gradient. .
