Aerial view of solar power generation

What is the solar power series?

The project is titled The Solar Power Series. Hegen is a German photographer who has focused his career on capturing aerial photos that offer insights into the traces humans are leaving on Earth’s surface. Hegen “provides an overview of places where we extract, refine and consume resources,” his website reads.

How much power does a photovoltaic system produce in 2021?

In 2021, photovoltaic (PV) power generation amounted to 821 TWh worldwide and 14.3 TWh in France 1. With an installed capacity of about 633 GWp worldwide 2 and 13.66 GWp in France, PV energy represents a growing share of the energy supply.

Can deep convolutional networks be used for aerial imagery?

The poor generalization of deep convolutional networks to aerial imagery from new geographic locations: an empirical study with solar array detection. In 2017 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR), 1–8 (IEEE, 2017).

Is photovoltaic energy on the rise?

Although the total percentage of global power needs met by photovoltaic energy alone remains small, at about 6 percent, it is on the rise. Governments and large companies are building massive facilities to provide both solar thermal and photovoltaic energy, converting the sun’s energy into electricity for millions of homes and businesses.
