Do you want to see where solar projects are installed across the country? Do you want to see more details about each project?
The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) launched a partnership data project this week, in partnership with GTI and Primethought.
The new data project is actually a portal of solar installations across the country.
GTI used expertise in satellite image interpretation and analysis to develop advanced machine learning methods and artificial intelligence, to efficiently extract solar PV panel data from satellite images.
The extracted solar PV panel data is linked to individual cadastral parcels, delivering detailed insights into solar PV panel area, kWp capacity, solar PV uptake and land use for each parcel.
SAPVIA members will have access to provincial-level datasets, while members of the public will have access to a high-level, summarised dataset.
