SPATIAL MODELING AND OTHER DATA ANALYTICS ENABLED ENERGY PLATFORM

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for identifying consumers likely to adopt a particular clean energy solution (e.g. solar solutions, such as rooftop panels or community solar offerings; electric battery storage; an electric vehicle; electric vehicle charging infrastructure; energy efficient appliances; etc.), which in some instances includes satellite image analysis of buildings used by consumers. In some cases, the methods can include using GIS data (e.g., LiDAR 3D point cloud data) to model roof facet surfaces and the amount of solar energy received by such surfaces. The methods can also include evaluating additional consumer- related data to predict consumers likely to adopt clean energy solutions. In other implementations, methods and systems are described for remotely sizing a particular clean energy solution based upon a user's submission of a particular address. Additional uses of energy-related data are also described.
