A team from the National Observatory of Athens in collaboration with the World Radiation Center in Switzerland have developed an holistic solar energy estimation mechanism which exploits the nowadays Earth Observation data sources and technologies.
In the framework of the big funded projects, GEO-CRADLE, e-shape, BEYOND and SMURBS several solar energy services were designed and applied in real world applications supporting the work of renewable energy and electricity handling entities, the energy market operations and all kind of solar plant management (i.e. from huge solar farms to roof-top installations).
The aforementioned activities are presented in this month's issue of the ECOTEC magazine (text in Greek pages 38-39).
The e-shape project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 820852
