Small-Scale Solar Panel Performance Predictor

An ML tool for homeowners or small commercial properties to predict future solar panel output, flagging underperformance not visible to generic monitoring systems.

🎯The Problem

Home/small business solar owners only see total output, missing subtle, cumulative efficiency drops from dust, shading, or micro-failures.

💡The Solution

An ML model that analyzes local weather, historical output, and temperature to predict expected output and alerts the owner if the actual output drops significantly below the prediction.

👥Target Users

Home Solar Owners, Small Commercial Property Managers, Solar Installers (Maintenance)
