CACTUS

CACTUS (Comprehensive Assessment and Computational Toolset for Urban Solar) is a Python-based set of tools and workflows for analysing integrated photovotlaic arrays. The repository provides a set of established workflows to move from low level of detail geometry and descriptive data through the automatic design of an array and the IV-based calculation of that array.

Community Solar

Community solar (CS) involves the use of shared solar photovoltaic and energy storage systems within a local community, a concept that has grown in popularity in recent years. In this project, we aim to facilitate the coordination of decentralized CS investments through dynamic pricing and to improve the performance of CS by implementing land use regulation controls.

Segment for Solar (S4S)

Segment for Solar Facades (S4S) is a tool that utilizes instance segmentation methods to accurately estimate the solar energy potential of building facades. Facades vary greatly in their design, and the placement of solar panels must be tailored to each application. S4S takes into account the architectural details and variations of facades, providing a more accurate assessment of their solar potential.
