Solar power generation home detection

What is solar detector design?

SolarDetector Design. We design a solar PV array detection system—SolarDetector, which can automatically detect and profile distributed solar photovoltaic arrays in a given geospatial region with low (re)training costs.

What can solardetector learn from a solar site?

The profile information that SolarDetector could learn from a solar site can be used to assist the solar degradation diagnostics process. In particular, SolarDetector can help to evaluate inverter performance, which cannot be accurately learned from only net meter energy traces.

Why do solar detectors have low accuracy and low retraining performance?

Current approaches are suffering low detection accuracy and low (re)training performance mainly due to the challenges from insufficient feature learning, inaccurate multiple-panel detection,the separation of segmentation and detection, and non-integrated data processing engines. SolarDetector Design.

What is the best solar PV array detection method?

We first compare SolarDetector with SVMs, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, CNNs, SolarFinder, and our SolarDetector approaches using two satellite images datasets—Dataset A and Dataset B. Unsurprisingly, as shown in Figure 10, SolarDetector is the best performing solar PV arrays detection approach on both datasets.

How can solar detector help a smart city?

The output of SolarDetector can be easily integrated with public maps APIs to create a detailed visualization system for solar PV array deployments in an area. The administrative offices of smart cities and the utilities can use the new solar panel visualization system to better inform allocation decisions.

How does solar detector work?

SolarDetector first leverages data augmentation techniques and Generative adversarial networks (GANs) to automatically learn accurate features for rooftop objects. Then, SolarDetector employs Mask R-CNN algorithm to accurately identify rooftop solar arrays and also learn the detailed installation information for each solar array simultaneously.
