Total and also Google develop Solar Mapper
- Tool enables quick analysis of rooftop solar potential on residences with strategies to expand it for industrial facilities
Total and also Google Cloud have pooled their competence to collectively establish a cutting-edge tool, Solar Mapper, which intends to speed up the release of solar panels for individuals (B2C) by supplying an accurate and also fast quote of the solar power capacity of their houses.
The tool will certainly be presented initially in Europe and after that around the world and makes use of brand-new artificial intelligence algorithms that provide better outcomes than present tools, the firms say.
Total amount additionally prepares to develop a B2B application of Solar Mapper, dedicated to commercial as well as industrial buildings as well as setups.
Specifically, the tool is declared to enhance the quality of the information extracted from satellite images and estimate solar possibility more sharply.
The companions claim it will certainly boost the significance of the technology to be installed and also offers greater geographical protection worldwide.
In the case of France, Solar Mapper supplies greater than 90% geographical insurance coverage, enabling much more individuals to assess the solar capacity of their homes, with greater accuracy than in the past.
" Solar Mapper will certainly make it possible for Total to much faster release photovoltaic panels on the houses' roof coverings, in order to offer its customers with more affordable and much more easily accessible solar energy," explains Total's primary modern technology police officer Marie-Noëlle Séméria.
" By combining Total's experience in solar energy with Google Cloud's knowledge in artificial intelligence as well as data sources, we had the ability to create an appealing as well as cutting-edge deal with each other in just six months."
