Abstract

See full text

A forecast engine is configured to analyze aerial and/or satellite images depicting a geographic area to identify the existence of solar panels within the geographic area at different times. Based on the installation time of each solar panel, the forecast engine estimates the solar power generation capacity of the solar panel. The forecast engine also analyzes meteorological data, including weather forecasts, to estimate a level of insolation at each solar panel within the geographic area across a range of times. The forecast engine can then determine the total amount of solar power generation within the given geographic area at a particular time using the solar power generation capacity of each solar panel and the level of insolation at each solar panel at the particular time.
