Solar Farm Site Selection
Amidst climate change and escalating energy demands, there's an urgent need to boost renewable energy adoption, particularly solar power, known for its efficient land-use and high power generation. This project aims to classify locations for utility-scale solar farms (≥1MW). Leveraging satellite data—solar irradiance, topography, land use, proximity to cities—we use an ensemble of machine learning models to determine ideal solar farm sites in California.
