In early 2014 my wife began researching the costs of solar.
Solar panel mapping example.
A quick and simple visual explainer of solar panels for home owners.
Although i ve had solar panels myself for three years and have a bit of solar info on the site i generally refer people off to other resources in the full knowledge they aren t ideal.
Electricity rates continue to increase in san diego.
Machine learning algorithm can locate every solar panel in the us.
Forget cats this neural network spots solar panels.
Every week or two i get an email asking for information about going solar.
With project sunroof google hopes to make it easier for more households to make the switch to renewables.

Current rates range from 0 17 to o 40 kwh depending on the amount of electricity used.
Parallel site mapping using multiple devices to scan different sections of the site simultaneously scanning with a mobile device s integrated camera or with an external bluetooth connected scanner working offline with no data connection.
Solar panels produce electricity when sunlight hits their surface and they produce the most energy when that sunlight is exactly perpendicular to the panel face.
Therefore the best angle for your solar panels is the one that allows the panels to get the most direct perpendicular light.
Solar panels on a shallow roof capture more sunlight during the summer season whereas solar panels on a steep roof will produce more power during the winter.
The psm covers most of the americas.
Researchers turn to ai for help in mapping every solar panel in the us.
This project is mapping every solar panel in the country using machine learning.
Learn about the nsrdb psm.
Use google s new mapping tool to see how much solar panels would benefit your home.
While you can use solar panel trackers to keep them at the optimum angle at all times the costs and complications involved aren t worth it in most cases.
The maps below illustrate select multiyear annual and monthly average maps and geospatial data from the national solar radiation database nsrdb physical solar model psm.
