Solar panel deployment configuration and management

摘要

A system for deploying solar panels may include a classification module configured to receive an image of a structure with a roof and to classify portions of the image that include portions of the roof as roof image segments. The system may also include an identification module configured to identify a property of the roof based at least in part on the roof image segments and a configuration module configured to determine a configuration of one or more solar panels for placement on the roof based on the identified property of the roof.

主权项

1. A method of determining solar panel deployment configurations, the method comprising:
receiving an image with a plurality of structures with roofs; receiving a map corresponding to the image, the map including indications of parcels of land; segmenting the image into a plurality of land segments that correspond with the parcels of land in the map; estimating expected power generation for each of the plurality of land segments of a region, wherein estimating the expected power generation for a first of the plurality of land segments includes:
segmenting the first of the plurality of the land segments into a plurality of image segments;classifying the plurality of image segments that include portions of a roof as roof image segments;identifying a property of the roof based at least in part on the roof image segments;determining a configuration of one or more solar panels for placement on the roof based on the identified property of the roof; andestimating the expected power generation of the first of the plurality of land segments based on the configuration of the one or more solar panels; and estimating a profitability of the placement of the solar panels in the region based on the expected power generation for each of the plurality of land segments.
