Increasing Renewable Energy Access in Philippines through AI

Challenge Background

The past few months have been really hot in the Philippines with temperatures up to 37 degrees Celsius. More people are reporting an increase in their electricity bills and institutions are looking to greener sources of energy.

The Problem

This initiative’s goal is to use Philippine satellite data in conjunction with other relevant dataset to identify sites that are most suitable for solar panel installation as a greener energy source through machine learning and coverage analysis.

The project results will be made open source. The aim being to help connect and encourage organizations to use AI tools to understand and plan in transition for green energy. We also hope to encourage citizen science by open sourcing the dataset and code.
