Solar energy, clean and inexhaustible (in terrestrial time scale), is an excellent alternative to replace fossil fuels and artificial intelligence has been helping in this matter.

Fortunately, people who embrace solar energy understand the importance of this cause and are usually relentless, seeking not only ways to make it more accessible, but expanding and improving the use of solar energy together with artificial intelligence. This is the case of Heliogen, a startup made up of scientists and engineers from MIT, Caltech and other renowned institutions, financed by Bill Gates and other investors, which intends to impact traditional industrial sectors with the use of artificial intelligence. This is an impressive new solar technology.

And how to apply artificial intelligence to solar energy?

Thinking about photovoltaic energy, artificial intelligence (AI) consists of a series of techniques focused on modeling, controlling or predicting the performance of energy systems. Power systems involve a great demand for computational processing, mathematical routines and complex rules.

In this way, techniques and technologies with the power to learn from multidimensional information patterns are extremely useful. And here we have one of the greatest powers of this technology, learning.

As the name implies, artificial intelligence (AI) consists of applying advanced analysis and logic-based techniques to interpret events, support and automate decisions and take actions.

Is it possible to integrate AI into solar energy?

Solar panels absorb the sun's rays and convert their energy into electricity, but without good control over their locations and capabilities, these scattered and unpredictable power generators also create headaches. Solar power installations are hard to track and even harder to manage.

Some solar installations are privately owned, on the roofs of family homes. Others are of industrial proportion and owned by utility companies, covering acres of land. Without complete data, utility companies can't plan their solar energy needs, solar installers don't know ideal areas for more panels, and policymakers can't encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Therefore, a sublime application of artificial intelligence focused on energy is precisely the identification of solar panels. Artificial intelligence has several applications, with that it has been changing the world.

The solar energy market grows every day, so strategies are needed to always be smarter.
